Abstract
The amino acid residues involved in the areas of contact that stabilise the haemoglobin S polymer fibre seem to be the same ones that stabilise the basic unit of the deoxyhaemoglobin S crystal: the Wishner–Love double strand. The haemoglobin S fibre is probably formed by a unique packing of these double strands.Keywords
