A new haemoglobin variant with a decreased oxygen affinity is described, in which the substitution, alpha 94 (G1) Asp replaced by Asn, affects the alpha1beta2 contact alpha1G1-beta2G4. The relevance of this variant to our understanding of the importance of the hydrogen bond between alpha1G1 and beta2G4 in Perutz's model of oxyhaemoglobin A is discussed.
