Abstract excerpt
We show here that alpha2(G-Phila.) beta2(C) has an increased rate of crystal nucleation compared to alpha2 beta2(C) (HbC). We conclude from this finding that position alpha68, the mutation site of alpha2(G-Phila.) beta2 (HbG(Philadelphia)), is a contact site in the crystal of HbC. In addition, th...
