Abstract

The present invention relates to methods of controlling beta dimer formation in hemoglobin solutions by altering the metal binding site adjacent to the N-terminus of beta globins. The invention further relates to methods of producing stable, intramolecularly crosslinked beta globins by exposure to Ni(II) and oxone.
