Oxygen equilibrium studies of purified hemoglobin Saint Mandé (Hb SM) [β102 (G4) Asn→Tyr] reveal a decreased oxygen affinity and cooperativity but to a lesser extent than found for Hb Kansas (β102 Thr). The low affinity of Hb SM depends on environmental conditions: eliminating chloride or raising the pH greatly elevated the ratio of p 50 of Hb SM to that of Hb A. The alkaline Bohr effect is reduced by about 40%. The effects of anions (chloride, organophosphates) binding to deoxy Hb SM are also reduced. These data indicate that the functional properties of Hb SM are intermediary between Hb A and Hb Kansas. In addition, molecular graphics modeling of Hb SM in the oxy and deoxy structures indicate the possibility of a new hydrogen bond in the T state between β 1 102 Tyr and α 2 42 Tyr. Stabilisation of the T state in this manner is a plausible explanation for several of the effects observed.
