The Penultimate Tyrosine Residues are Critical for the Genotoxic Effect of Human Hemoglobin
Hemoglobin (Hb) is a potent oxidant outside the erythrocyte. The tyrosines α140 and β145 play an important role in the structure and function of Hb by forming switch and hinge contacts. These carboxy-terminal ...

Characterization of Protein-Protein Interactions in Recombinant Hemoglobin Producing Escherichia coli Cells Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymers
The worldwide blood shortage has generated demands for alternatives to transfusible human blood. One such important option is based on recombinant hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (rHBOCs). Most efforts have b...

Possibilities of Using Fetal Hemoglobin as a Platform for Producing Hemoglobin-Based Oxygen Carriers (HBOCs)
The expression levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in bacterial recombinant systems are higher compared with normal adult hemoglobin (HbA). However, heme disorientation in globins are often observed in recombinan...
