Abstract excerpt
Using an Escherichia coli gene expression system, we have engineered human hemoglobin (Hb) mutants having the distal histidine (E7) and valine (E11) residues replaced by other amino acids. The interaction between the mutated distal residues and bound carbon monoxide has been studied by Soret-excited resonance Raman spectroscopy. The replacement of Val-E11 by Ala, Leu, Ile, and Met has no effect on the v(C-O),...
