OXIDATION-REDUCTION POTENTIALS AND THE POSSIBLE RESPIRATORY SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PIGMENT OF THE NUDIBRANCH CHROMODORIS ZEBRA

1. Oxidation-reduction potential methods have been applied to a study of the blue-purple pigment present in solution in the blood and in the tissue cells of the nudibranch Chromodoris zebra. 2. The blue-purple pigment and its yellow reduction product form a reversible system whose E(o)' = x0.10...

description 1. Oxidation-reduction potential methods have been applied to a study of the blue-purple pigment present in solution in the blood and in the tissue cells of the nudibranch Chromodoris zebra. 2. The blue-purple pigment and its yellow reduction product form a reversible system whose E(o)' = x0.102 volts at pH 7.0 and whose valence change from oxidant to reductant appears to be one. 3. The system is unlike oxyhemoglobin-hemoglobin in the mode of oxygen transfer. Its rôle as a possible respiratory material is discussed.
