Abstract
The sequential changes that occur during the precipitation on mild heating of the unstable hemoglobins, Hb Christchurch, Hb Sydney, Hb Köln, and Hb A, were examined with particular attention to the possibility of an accompanying oxidative process. Hb Christchurch, Hb Sydney, and Hb A precipitated with equal amounts of α- and β-chains and full heme complement. Hb Köln, however, was one-half hemedepleted and showed a slight excess of precipitated β-chains. In all cases the spectrum of the precipitated material was typical of a hemichrome. There was no evidence that sulfhydryl oxidation contributed to the precipitation process. Reduced glutathione was unable to protect the hemoglobin against precipitation, and mixed disulfide formation between the precipitating hemoglobin and glutathione was insignificant, even in the presence of excess glutathione. No blockade of β93 cysteines could be demonstrated in the unstable hemoglobins.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
