Abstract
A cluster of cross-linked hemoglobin tetramers was prepared by conjugating active esters to amino groups of a starburst dendrimer. Comparison of oxygen-binding properties of the protein cluster to those of nonclustered species reveals an increase in affinity and a decrease in cooperativity in the cluster. The altered oxygen-binding properties are assigned to protein-protein interactions.Entities:
