The kinetics of hemoglobin (Hb) reactions with carbon monoxide were calculated for a number of classical schemes: with one, two, four binding sites and an allosteric scheme with T- and R-conformers. The developed theory predicts the existence of only one relaxation time for every scheme the values of which depends on the velocity constants, saturation degree and the Hb concentration.
