[Effect of alcohols on photochemical transformations of mouse oxyhemoglobin]. / Vliianie nekotorykh spirtov na fotokhimicheskie prevrashcheniia oksigemoglobina myshei.

The spectral method was used to study the influence of such alcohols as xylene, mannitol, sorbitol and dulcitol on photochemical oxidation of mouse oxyhemoglobin molecules (6.68 X 10(-5) M). Mannitol (5.35 X 10(-4) M) was shown to exert a protective action with regard to UV-irradiated hemoproteid: the extent to which oxyhemoglobin molecules were oxidized in the presence of mannotol was lesser than that in its absence. Sorbiol or xylene (5.35 X 10(-4) M) added to an aqueous solution of hemoproteid failed to exert a photoprotective effect with respect to protein molecules.
