Abstract excerpt
Three new Hb S variants containing beta87 Leu, Trp, or Asp instead of Thr were expressed in yeast in order to further define the role of the beta87 position in stability and polymerization of deoxy Hb S. Previous studies showed that hydrophobicity at beta85 Phe and beta88 Leu is critical for stabilization of hemoglobin. Results with the three Hb S beta87 variants, however, showed minimal differences in stability,...
