Spectrophotometric measurements on verdo-myoglobin: relevance to the oxidation of ferri-myoglobin by chlorite ion.

ABSTRACT

Spectrophotometric observations on verdo-myoglobin, reconstituted from apomyoglobin and verdo-heme and its oxidation products, are described. Relevance of these results to the oxidation of ferri-myoglobin by chlorite ion is also discussed.
