Haem disorder in reconstituted human haemoglobin
The Biochemical Journal
|December 1, 1982
Degradation of the haem of haemoglobin (used as a chemical probe of the haem-protein relationship), suggests that reconstituted human haemoglobin contains significant haem disorder. This results from the insertion of haem into globin with an orientation 180 degrees different from the natural orientation. Haem disorder also slowly occurs in methaemoglobin solutions.
