The interaction of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate with various human hemoglobins
TLDR
Results suggest that the N-terminal amino groups of the non-α-chains are involved in the binding of 2,3-DPG to hemoglobin.Abstract:
Oxygen equilibria were measured on a number of human hemoglobins, which had been “stripped” of organic phosphates and isolated by column chromatography. In the presence of 2 × 10-4 M 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), the P50 of hemoglobins A, A2, S, and C increased about twofold, signifying a substantial and equal decrease in oxygen affinity. Furthermore, hemoglobins Chesapeake and MMilwaukee-1 which have intrinsically high and low oxygen affinities, respectively, also showed a twofold increase in P50 in the presence of 2 × 10-4 M 2,3-DPG. In comparison to these, hemoglobins AIC and F were less reactive with 2,3-DPG while hemoglobin FI showed virtually no reactivity. The N-terminal amino of each β-chain of hemoglobin AIC is linked to a hexose. In hemoglobin FI the N-terminal amino of each γ-chain is acetylated. These results suggest that the N-terminal amino groups of the non-α-chains are involved in the binding of 2,3-DPG to hemoglobin.read more

Correlation of Glucose Regulation and Hemoglobin AIc in Diabetes Mellitus

TL;DR: The periodic monitoring of hemoglobin AIc levels provides a useful way of documenting the degree of control of glucose metabolism in diabetic patients and provides a means whereby the relation of carbohydrate control to the development of sequelae can be assessed.

The glycosylation of hemoglobin: relevance to diabetes mellitus
TL;DR: By providing an integrated measurement of blood glucose, hemoglobin AIc is useful in assessing the degree of diabetic control and is a useful model of nonenzymatic glycosylation of other proteins that may be involved in the long-term complications of the disease.

TL;DR: The increase in proportions of glycohemoglobin in diabetes mellitus appears to be another example of increased glycoproteins in this disorder.

X-ray diffraction study of binding of 2,3-diphosphoglycerate to human deoxyhaemoglobin.
TL;DR: DPG has a two-fold effect on human deoxyhaemoglobin: it both stabilizes and slightly distorts the S form, and may therefore affect the solubility.

TL;DR: Impairment of vasorelaxation in nonstented proximal and distal segments of stented coronary arteries is more severe with drug-eluting stents than bare-metal stents, and stent-induced flow disturbances resulting in complex spatiotemporal shear stress can also contribute to increased thrombogenicity and inflammation.
