Abstract excerpt
Based on the properties of two low oxygen affinity mutated hemoglobins (Hb), we have engineered a double mutant Hb (rHb beta YD) in which the beta F41Y substitution is associated with K82D. Functional studies have shown that the Hb alpha 2 beta 2(C7)F41Y exhibits a decreased oxygen affinity relative to Hb A, without a significantly increased autooxidation rate. The oxygen affinity of the natural mutant beta K82D...
