Haptoglobin Preferentially Binds β but Not α Subunits Cross-Linked Hemoglobin Tetramers with Minimal Effects on Ligand and Redox Reactions

Human hemoglobin (Hb) and haptoglobin (Hp) exhibit an extremely high affinity for each other, and the dissociation of Hb tetramers into dimers is generally believed to be a prerequisite for complex formation. We have investigated Hp interactions with native Hb, αα, and ββ cross-linked Hb (ααXLHb and...
