The brackets in fig 5, show a cluster of cross-linked human and bovine hemoglobins whose oxygen affinity is lower than that of untreated human SFH. Also, they have a stabilized tetrameric structure, and the combination of these characteristics makes these compounds very promising as oxygen carriers in cell-free blood substitutes.
