Comments: The hydrophobic leucyl residue at β75(E19) is the second residue from the C-terminus of the E helix. It makes neither heme nor interchain contacts, but is part of the interlocking residues that link helices E and A (with Val β11(A8) and Trp β15(A12)). Its substitution by the relatively large, hydrophylic arginyl residue leaves a gap that allows water penetration in the protein interior, loosening the tertiary structure. Also, the arginyl side chain would protrude at the surface so that its guanidium group could be hydrated. The bulky volume of the arginyl residue at βE19 may also disturb the adjacent phenylalanyl residue in the helix at βE15, which ordinarily makes contact with the distal side of the heme in the normal β chain. These changes could account for the instability, increased autoxidation rate and altered oxygen binding properties of Hb Pasadena.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
