Inhibition of NAD(P)H:(quinone-acceptor) oxidoreductase by cibacron blue and related anthraquinone dyes: a structure-activity study.

abstract：:The marked difference between the intra- and extracellular 31P NMR chemical shifts of various phosphoryl compounds when added to a red cell suspension may be largely understood in terms of the effects of hemoglobin on the 31P NMR chemical shifts. The presence of [oxy- or (carbonmonoxy)-] hemoglobin inside the red cell...
