The oxygen affinity of hemoglobin Sassari (Asp-126 alpha----His), a variant substituted in the alpha 1 beta 1 interface, was found to be 8-times greater relative to normal adult human hemoglobin. Study of the exchangeable hydrogen-bonded protons by NMR spectroscopy shows only minor changes at the alpha 1 beta 1 interface. In particular, the resonance previously assigned to the proton of the hydrogen bond Asp-126 alpha 1. . . Tyr-35 beta 1 in normal hemoglobin is still present in the variant spectrum, suggesting that His-126 alpha can also form a hydrogen bond with the Tyr-35 beta. The possible explanation of the increased affinity of hemoglobin Sassari and other variants substituted in the same structural region is discussed in terms of perturbations of the equilibrium between the two quaternary states.
