Hemoglobin Strain Field Waves and Allometric Functionality [PDF]
Hemoglobin (Hgb) forms tetramers (dimerized dimers), which enhance its globular stability and may also facilitate small gas molecule transport, as shown by recent all-atom Newtonian solvated simulations. Hydropathic bioinformatic scaling reveals many wave-like features of strained Hgb structures at the coarse-grained amino acid level, while ...

Genetic and clinical features of hemoglobin H disease in Chinese patients.
BACKGROUND Normally, one pair of each of the two alpha-globin genes, alpha1 and alpha2, resides on each copy of chromosome 16. In hemoglobin H disease, three of these four alpha-globin genes are affected by a deletion, a mutation, or both. We studied the

Structural interpretation of the amino acid sequence of a second domain from the Artemia covalent polymer globin [PDF]
Artemia has a complex extracellular hemoglobin of Mr 260,000 comprising two globin chains (Mr 130,000) each of which is a polymer of eight covalently linked domains of Mr 16,000.

Physical and chemical processes and the morphofunctional characteristics of human erythrocytes in hyperglycaemia [PDF]
Background: This study examines the effect of graduated hyperglycaemia on the state and oxygen-binding ability of hemoglobin, the correlation of phospholipid fractions and their metabolites in the membrane, the activity of proteolytic enzymes and the ...

Thermal-induced proteinquake in oxyhemoglobin [PDF]
Oxygen is released to living tissues via conformational changes of hemoglobin from R-state (oxyhemoglobin) to T-state (desoxyhemoglobin). The detailed mechanism of this process is not yet fully understood. We have carried out micromechanical experiments on oxyhemoglobin crystals to determine the behavior of the Young's modulus and the internal friction

Imaging proteins at the truly single-molecule level [PDF]
Imaging single proteins has been a long-standing ambition for advancing various fields in natural science, as for instance structural biology, biophysics and molecular nanotechnology. In particular, revealing the distinct conformations of an individual protein is of utmost importance.

Recent interest in therapies for sickle cell anemia based on elevating fetal Hb has made accurate estimates of the sparing effect of fetal Hb (Hb F) and other non-sickle Hbs on sickle Hb (Hb S) polymerization essential.

Conformational studies of various hemoglobins by natural-abundance 13C NMR spectroscopy [PDF]
Studies of variously liganded hemoglobins (both from human and rabbit) by natural-abundance 13C NMR spectroscopy have revealed apparent conformational differences that have been interpreted on the basis of two quaternary structures for the α2ß2 tetramer,

Association of HMIP1 C-893A polymorphism and disease severity in patients with sickle cell anemia
Introduction: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is a Mendelian disorder with a heterogeneous clinical course. The reasons for this phenotypic diversity are not entirely established, but it is known that high fetal hemoglobin levels lead to a milder course of the ...
