Abstract
Stable noncovalent dimers of band 3 protein from human erythrocyte membranes, in which state the protein is thought to exist after solubilization by the nonionic detergent Triton X‐100, do not occur when purified batches of the detergent are used. Instead, the protein is in a monomer/dimer/tetramer association equilibrium. The stable dimers do appear, however, when the detergent has been ‘aged’. They thus seem to be artifacts.Keywords
