Structure in relation to behavior of mutant hemoglobins in citrate agar electrophoresis.

abstract：:We studied the structural environment surrounding the beta-N-terminal glycation site of a hemoglobin (Hb) molecule in which the proline residue at beta5(A2) was substituted by alanine in silico. By computer analysis that used Protein Data Bank data (PDB ID: 1BZ0), we tried to clarify the reason for impaired glycation ...
