Allosteric control of hemoglobin S fiber formation by oxygen and its relation to the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease
The pathology of sickle cell disease is caused by polymerization of the abnormal hemoglobin S upon deoxygenation in the tissues to form fibers in red cells, causing them to deform and occlude the circulation. Drugs that allosterically shift the quaternary equilibrium from the polymerizing T quaterna...
