Abstract excerpt
We have identified a severely unstable hemoglobin variant through sequencing of amplified DNA involving the alpha 1-globin gene; the mutation is located in codon 59 (CCG CAG) and results in a Gly-->Asp replacement. This amino acid substitution concerns a glycine residue at an internal position in the E helix, which is in close contact with a glycine residue of the B helix; introduction of the larger and charged...
