Abstract excerpt
Abstract Hemoglobin La Desirade (Hb La Desirade) is an unstable hemoglobin variant characterized by amino acid Alanine (Ala) replacing Valine (Val) at position 129 (H7) in the beta chain. Hb La Desirade exhibits a decreased oxygen affinity and normal heme-heme interaction. Interestingly, on analysis by standard electrophoresis, it migrates in the same region as normal HbA, and HbA actually represents a...
