Abstract
Red blood cell cytosol promotes enzymic N-demethylation reactions which display typical Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to N-methylaniline as substrate. The demethylase activity is linked with hemoglobin (Hb) and is enhanced in the presence of NADH and the NADH-methemoglobin reductase system. It has been adduced that Hb in its oxygenated form is involved in the reaction.
