Abstract excerpt
The identity of intermolecular contact residues in sickle hemoglobin (HbS) fiber is largely known. However, our knowledge about combinatorial effects of two or more contact sites or the mechanistic basis of such effects is rather limited. Lys16, His20, and Glu23 of the alpha-chain occur in intra-double strand axial contacts in the sickle hemoglobin (HbS) fiber. Here we have constructed two novel double mutants,...
