Academic Press Hemoglobins, Part B: Biochemical and Analytical Methods: Biochemical and Analytical Methods Pt.B (Methods in Enzymology): Volume 231

Hemoglobin has been involved in the most significant advances in our understanding of modern genetics and molecular biology. Now, hemoblobin is again central to a new area: development of artificial blood (blood substitute.) This volume of Methods in Enzymology and its companion, Volume 232, will be indispensable to anyone with a serious interest in this emerging field. They completely update and extend the information presented in Volume 76 published a decade ago. Preparation, purification, and analysis of human hemoglobin and of various non-human hemoglobins Preparation of hemoglobin hybrids and of model heme compounds Preparation of chemically modified hemoglobins and of recombinant hemoglobins Analytical procedures presented for studying hemoglobin stability and degradation and for the formation of xenobiotic adducts of hemoglobin
