Abstract
Incubation of acetaldehyde with hemoglobin has been shown by chromatographic methods to result in an increase in fast hemoglobin. We have studied this increase in fast hemoglobin concentration by, a gel electrophoretic method. Increases in fast hemoglobin concentration are detected following incubation with concentration8 of 100μm acetaldehyde and no further increase in yield occurs with concentrations greater than 7 mm acetaldehyde. The reaction is complete within 5 hr and the product is stable with a half‐life of greater than 12 days.
