The time course of methaemoglobin reduction in human erythrocytes treated with nitrite was studied at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C, in the presence or absence of Methylene Blue, and the changes in methaemoglobin, intermediate haemoglobins and oxyhaemoglobin during the reaction were analysed by isoelectric-focusing on Ampholine/polyacrylamide-gel plates. In both cases, with or without the dye, the intermediate haemoglobins were found to be present at (alpha 3+beta 2+)2 and (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 valency hybrids from their characteristic position on electrophoresis, but amounts changed consecutively with time. The amount of (alpha 3+beta 2+)2 was always greater than that of the (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 valency hybrid. This result is explained by the differences in redox potentials between alpha- and beta-chains in methaemoglobin tetramer. It was concluded that methaemoglobin was reduced in human erythrocytes through these two different pats: methaemoglobin leads to k+3 (alpha 2+beta 3+)2 leads to k+3 oxyhaemoglobin. The reaction rate constants k'+1 (= k+1+k+3) and k'+2(=k+2+k+4) were estimated from the changes in each component methaemoglobin, intermediate haemoglobins [(alpha 3+beta 2+)2+(alpha 2+beta 3+)2] and oxyhaemoglobin.

Munonium atoms are hydrogen isotopes with positive muons rather than protons, deuterons, or tritons as nuclei. Thus, they have one ninth the mass of 1H, and microsecond lifetimes. By using nuclear physics counting techniques, muonium can be studied in a wide variety of media and its chemical and physical properties used to appraise hydrogen. Results are described for the interaction of muonium with acetone, showing two types of kinetic isotope effects, formation of free radicals, evidence for intermolecular "muonium bonding", and micelle-induced enhancements of reaction rate constants. Keywords: isotope effects, muonium atoms, muonium bonding, thiyl radicals, micelles.
