Abstract excerpt
Homo- and heterotetramer formations of beta112 variants (beta(112Cys-->Asp), beta(112Cys-->Ser), beta(112Cys-->Thr), and beta(112Cys-->Val)) of hemoglobin were characterized in the presence and absence of beta(16Gly-->Asp) in vitro. In all cases an alteration in overall surface charge (beta(16Gly-->Asp)) decreased the beta(4) homotetramer stability (association constants as determined by gel-permeation...
