Visible spectra showed two isobestics, and fluorescence spectra showed static quenching with increasing of nicotine dose. Meanwhile, the CD spectra intensity reduced, showing the conformation of Hb varied markedly through the interaction. All these results suggested that the interaction of nicotine or its metabolites and Hb might do harm to physicological function of Hb.展开更多

It is primarily proposed that nicotine appears carcinogenic via its conversion to nitrosamines.展开更多
