Abstract excerpt
Oxygen equilibrium studies of purified hemoglobin Saint Mandé (Hb SM) [beta 102 (G4) Asn----Tyr] reveal a decreased oxygen affinity and cooperativity but to a lesser extent than found for Hb Kansas (beta 102 Thr). The low affinity of Hb SM depends on environmental conditions: eliminating chloride or raising the pH greatly elevated the ratio of p50 of Hb SM to that of Hb A. The alkaline Bohr effect is reduced by...
