We studied the kinetics of replacement of O 2 by CO in hemoglobin in the presence and absence of organic cosolvents (methanol, ethanol, iso ‐propanol, n ‐propanol, formamide, acetamide, N ‐methyl‐formamide) and at 10 and 25°C. Quantitative analysis of the results indicates that these cosolvents do not affect the intrinsic binding constants of ligands to the heme when hemoglobin is in the R conformation. The present results confirm the previously reported suggestion that the effects of the above cosolvents on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin are related to effects on the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium.
