Abstract excerpt
The influence of allosteric effectors on the R-state (liganded) conformation of Tg-HbP (human hemoglobin Presbyterian expressed in transgenic pig) has been probed using a number of biophysical techniques, and the results have been compared with that of liganded of HbA (human normal adult hemoglobin) to gain insight into the molecular basis of Asn-108(beta)->Lys mutation-induced low-oxygen affinity of Hb. The...
