NOT KNOWN FACTUAL STATEMENTS ABOUT BETA138

Hemoglobin Brockton [beta 138 (H16) Ala—-Professional] has low oxygen affinity but electrophoretic mobility and hemolysate binding are standard, suggesting that the substitution at beta 138 will not disrupt crucial polar interactions, including the hydrogen bonds and salt bridges amongst Asp 137 and Professional 138, that contribute on the cooper
