Summary
A new α chain mutant Hb-Sinai α47 His is described. The aminoacid composition of all tryptic peptides has been determined, with the exception of the insoluble core. In the fingerprint peptide T 6 which normally migrates between T 3 and T 1, moves now between T 3 and T 7. The aminoacid composition of peptide T 6 indicates a change in the aminoacid composition from Asp- to His+ in position 47.
