Viscometric and spectrophotometric measurements of hemoglobin S polymerization kinetics.
The rates of polymerization and depolymerization of identical concentrated deoxygenated hemoglobin S (HbS) solutions following a rapid temperature change were examined by several methods. Two of these methods measured viscosity changes in either gently agitated (AGT) or nonagitated (NAGT) samples. The third method utilized a change in turbidity at 735 nm (SDT). By all three methods, a delay per...
متن کاملHemoglobin S polymerization and gelation under shear II. The joint concentration and shear dependence of kinetics.
The kinetics of hemoglobin S gelation are critical in sickle disease because microvascular obstruction can be avoided if red blood cells pass these vessels during the delay time, before polymerization and gelation occur in sufficient degree to rigidify the cells. Kinetics, including the delay time and the closely related exponential progress rate, are highly sensitive to hemoglobin concentratio...
متن کاملThe polymerization of nickel (II) hemoglobin S under aerobic conditions.
Sickle hemoglobin (Fe(II)HbS) reconstituted with nickel(II)protoporphyrin IX yields an artificial hemoglobin (Ni(II)HbS), the first heme-substituted hemoglobin shown to mimic the polymerization of deoxyHbS. Unlike Fe(II)HbS, Ni(II)HbS does not bind oxygen and therefore polymerizes under aerobic conditions. While the polymer solubility coefficient (Csat) for Ni(II)HbS is elevated about 2 g/100 m...
متن کاملPolymerization of Recombinant Hemoglobin F yE6V and Hemoglobin F yE6V, yQ87T Alone, and in Mixtures With Hemoglobin S
To further understand determinants for Hemoglobin (Hb) S polymerization, as well as the inhibitory mechanism of Hb F on Hb S polymerization, Hb F variants containing Val-* (Hb F yE6V) or Val-*, Thr-y87 (Hb F yE6V. yQ87Tj were expressed in yeast. The oxy form of Hb F yE6V was about 10-fold less stable to mechanical agitation than native oxy Hb F, which is similar to stability differences compari...
متن کاملSparing effect of hemoglobin F and hemoglobin A2 on the polymerization of hemoglobin S at physiologic ligand saturations.
Recent interest in therapies for sickle cell anemia based on elevating fetal Hb has made accurate estimates of the sparing effect of fetal Hb (Hb F) and other non-sickle Hbs on sickle Hb (Hb S) polymerization essential. We have developed a technique, using HbCO as surrogate for HbO2, that enables us to assess the solubility of Hb S as a function of ligand saturation under conditions that mimic ...
