Abstract excerpt
The alpha-abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) M variants show physiological properties different from the beta-abnormal Hb M variants, that is, extremely low oxygen affinity of the normal subunit and extraordinary resistance to both enzymatic and chemical reduction of the abnormal met-subunit. To get insight into the contribution of heme structures to these differences among Hb M's, we examined the 406.7-nm excited...
