Abstract:
The discovery of the clinically important glycohemoglobin adducts and their relation to diabetes mellitus have greatly stimulated the study of other minor post-translational modifications of hemoglobin. Chromatographic and electrophoretic procedures have played an important role in these studies. Today several hemoglobin adducts are known and the formation of adducts with glucose, phosphorylated carbohydrates, urea/cyanate, aspirin, vitamins, acetaldehyde, penicillin and acetyl CoA have been described. Furthermore, new adducts, such as those observed using hemoglobin as a biochemical marker monitoring environmental, occupational and lifestyle exposures to reactive toxic chemicals are constantly being reported. This review deals with chromatographic and electrophoretic separation methods available for the study of non-enzymatic post-translational modifications of hemoglobin. Suitability, perspectives and biomedical applications are discussed.

Chromatography: Introduction
The phase in which the compounds linger or on which the compounds adsorb is called the stationary phase, whereas the mobile phase is the solvent that carries the solutes to be analyzed. In traditional column chromatography, the mixture flows through the stationary phase, and the compounds partition between the stationary and mobile phases...
