| Abstract | A recombinant double mutant of hemoglobin (Hb), E6V/L88A(beta), was constructed to study the strength of the primary hydrophobic interaction in the gelation of sickle Hb, i.e., that between the mutant Val-6(beta) of one tetramer and the hydrophobic region between Phe-85(beta) and Leu-88(beta) on an adjacent tetramer. Thus, a construct encoding the donor Val-6(beta) of the expressed recombinant HbS and a second mutation encoding an Ala in place of Leu-88(beta) was assembled. The doubly mutated beta-globin gene was expressed in yeast together with the normal human alpha-chain, which is on the same plasmid, to produce a soluble Hb tetramer. Characterizations of the Hb double mutant by mass spectrometry, by HPLC, and by peptide mapping of tryptic digests of the mutant beta-chain were consistent with the desired mutations. The absorption spectra in the visible and the ultraviolet regions were practically superimposable for the recombinant Hb and the natural Hb purified from human red cells. Circular dichroism studies on the overall structure of the recombinant Hb double mutant and the recombinant single mutant, HbS, showed that both were correctly folded. Functional studies on the recombinant double mutant indicated that it was fully cooperative. However, its gelation concentration was significantly higher than that of either recombinant or natural sickle Hb, indicating that the strength of the interaction in this important donor-acceptor region in sickle Hb was considerably reduced even with such a conservative hydrophobic mutation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
