The rate of the root shift in eel red cells and eel haemoglobin solutions.

1. We have measured the rate of the exchange of O(2) between eel red blood cells and their suspending fluid in a modified Hartridge-Roughton continuous-flow rapid-reaction velocity apparatus using an oxygen electrode to follow the progress of the reaction.2.

Rate limiting processes in the Bohr shift in human red cells.

1. The rates of the Bohr shift of human red cells and some of its constituent reactions have been studied with a modified Hartridge-Roughton rapid reaction apparatus using an oxygen electrode to measure the progress of the reaction.2.

The mechanism of oxygen concentration in the swim-bladder of the eel.

1. The P(O2) of venous blood from the active swim-bladder of the eel was shown to decrease with distance from the exit of the rete. This systematic change did not occur in non-secreting bladders, nor during conditions where exchange in the rete had been abolished.
