Abstract excerpt
The β subunit substitutions, F41Y and K82D, in sickle cell hemoglobin (Hb) (βE6 V) provides significant resistance to oxidative stress by shielding βCys93 from the oxidizing ferryl heme. We evaluated the oxidative resistance of βCys93 to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in α subunit mutations in βE6 V (at both the putative and lateral contact regions) that included (1) αH20Q/βE6 V; (2) αH50Q/βE6 V; (3) αH20Q/H50Q/βE6 V;...
