X-ray crystallographic and functional studies of human haemoglobin mutants produced in Escherichia coli.

abstract：:We have used the gel retardation assay to investigate the binding of nuclear proteins to the duplicated CACCC boxes in the beta-globin gene promoter region. The effect of beta-thalassemia mutations affecting both of these consensus sequences (the -88 C-->T and -101 C-->T mutations) were studied by using appropriate mu...
