Abstract

1. 1. Caiman hemoglobin had a high intrinsic oxygen affinity, which was not influenced by organic phosphate. Furthermore, the concentration of organic phosphates was low in red blood cells. 2. 2. CO₂ produced a large increase of P₅₀ and Bohr effect of Caiman blood when compared to human blood. 3. 3. It was concluded, that the influence of CO₂ on O₂-binding to red cells improves tissue oxygenation especially during the dive.
