Spectrophotometrical characteristics of deoxy-, oxy-, carboxy- and methemoglobin were investigated. Energy calculations of electron transitions were carried out. In deoxyhemoglobin not only ion Fe(II) but also Nitrogen atoms move out of porphyrin plain. In oxyhemoglobin bond formation between Fe(II) dxz–orbitals and π-orbitals of O2. Calculated energy of electron transitions in methemoglobin is rather small. This suggest the π→π* electron transition which take place when ion-radical complex of porphyrin ring and oxydized form of Fe(III) is formed.


Keywords: oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin, electron transitions.
