Abstract excerpt
The present article describes a simple and rapid new peptide mapping procedure that could be used to assist identification of rare hemoglobin variants in clinical laboratories. Four hemoglobin variants were taken as example, namely Hb D-Ouled Rabah, Hb Marseille, Hb G-Philadelphia, and Hb Ube-2, and isolated by electrophoresis at alkaline pH. The globin chains were aminoethylated and, after tryptic digestion, the...
