Abstract excerpt
The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Sassari (Asp-126 alpha----His), a variant substituted in the alpha 1 beta 1 interface, was found to be 8-times greater relative to normal adult human hemoglobin. Study of the exchangeable hydrogen-bonded protons by NMR spectroscopy shows only minor changes at the...
