ABSTRACT
|
|
|
| |
|
The crystal structures of three recombinant human hemoglobins, rHb1. 0, rHb1.1
and rHb1.2, have been determined in the deoxy state at 1.8 A resolution. Two of
the three proteins, rHb1.1 and rHb1.2, contain a genetic fusion of the alpha
subunits, a one- or two-glycine link, respectively, whereas rHb1.0 does not. The
glycine crosslinks, localized between one N- and C--termini pair of the alpha
subunits in the deoxy crystalline state, do not perturb the overall tertiary or
quaternary or even the local structure of hemoglobin. Therefore, genetic fusion
to prevent the dissociation of the hemoglobin tetramer, thereby inhibiting renal
clearance based upon molecular size, is a structurally conservative method to
stabilize hemoglobin for use as an oxygen-delivery therapeutic.

Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly
from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be
only a partial list as not all journals are covered by
either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data
so more and more references will be included with time.
