Abstract

The authors studied the effect of freeze-thawing on structural and functional state of hemoglobins A and F. An increase in content of metforms in protein solutions is noted, which testifies to an acceleration of hemoglobins’ auto-oxidation. Conformation changes, accompanying this process, affect mainly the polar zones of molecules.
