Stuidy of the amino acid composition and amino-terminal residue in the abnormal peptide of an electrophoretically slow hemoglobin revealed that the globin's structure was alpha(2)beta(2)(121 Lys) (Obeta). This hemoglobin had been provisionally classified as Hb E or as a new heemoglobin. The clinical significance of this abnormality is not yet defined.
