Abstract excerpt
Replacement of valine by tryptophan or tyrosine at position alpha96 of the alpha chain (alpha96Val), located in the alpha(1)beta(2) subunit interface of hemoglobin leads to low oxygen affinity hemoglobin, and has been suggested to be due to the extra stability introduced by an aromatic amino acid at the alpha96 position. The characteristic of aromatic amino acid substitution at the alpha96 of hemoglobin has been...
