Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin Attleboro, a new alpha-chain variant with a substitution of proline for serine at position 138 (H21), was found to be a noncooperative high-affinity hemoglobin (P50 = 0.26 mmHg at pH 7 and 20 degrees C) which lacked an alkaline Bohr effect. Addition of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (DPG) or inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) led to a decrease in oxygen affinity but to no alteration in either Bohr effect or...
