Substitution of the N-terminal amino groups with pyridoxal compounds inhibits gelation and increases the solubility of deoxy sickle hemoglobin (Hb S). Pyridoxylation of the alpha chains has considerably more effect than that of the beta chains. The increase in minimum gelling concentration of Hb S that results from modification of the alpha N-termini is the same as that produced by dilution of Hb S with an equal amount of Hb A.
用吡哆醛化合物取代N端氨基可抑制凝胶化并增加脱氧镰状血红蛋白(Hb S)的溶解度。α链的吡哆醛化作用比β链的大得多。由α N端修饰导致的Hb S最低凝胶化浓度的增加与用等量Hb A稀释Hb S所产生的增加相同。
