Abstract

Sulfosuccinimidyl esters could be targeted to the residues of ββ cleft of hemoglobin A and the bis-sulfosuccinimidyl esters of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids could serve as the `affinity directed' ββ crosslinkers of HbA. The reactivity of sulfosuccinimidyl esters of tartaric acid and sebacic acid with HbA was also investigated to establish the appropriate length of the alkyl chain optimal for the crosslinking reaction.
