Abstract
Polyhemoglobin-superoxide dismutase-catalase-carbonic anhydrase (PolyHb-SOD-CAT-CA) is a therapeutic antioxidant that also transports both oxygen and carbon dioxide. This is formed by crosslinking Hb with SOD, CAT, and CA using glutaraldehyde. Crosslinking stroma free Hb from red blood cell (rbc) reduces CA activity to 55%. Addition of more CA resulted in a preparation with the same CA activity as RBC. PolyHb in the complex acts as a buffer to prevent large pH changes as carbon dioxide is converted to carbonic acid. We then prepare and optimize a novel PolyHb-SOD-CAT-CA, a therapeutic antioxidant that also transports both oxygen and carbon dioxide.
