Time delay measurement for 100% tetranitrosyl HbS compared to deoxy HbS. The turbidity was observed using the Cary 100 Bio UV visible spectrometer at 800 nm using 0.1 cm path length cells. The concentrations of the 100% tetranitrosyl and deoxy samples were 16 mM. The delay times were calculated as the time to reach one-tenth of the final optical density after subtraction of the initial absorption at time t = 0. The delay time for the deoxy sample was 110 sec while the 100% tetranitrosyl sample was greater than 7200 sec (possibly infinity). 2.5 (a) Extinction 2 0°C, 0th min 1.5 15°C, 90th min 1 37°C, 30th min 37°C, 38th min 0.5 0 450 37°C, 50th min 500 550 600 650 700 Wavelength (nm) Figure 5. Dexoygenated HbS samples contained in square cuvettes. (a) Extinction (absorbance + turbidity) of deoxygenated HbS samples (0.09 mM) in 1.8M phosphate. Samples were temperature jumped from 0 oC () to 15 oC () or 37 oC and extinction was measured at various times (30 minutes (), 38 minutes (), and 50 minutes () after being jumped to 3 7oC). The extinction at 0 oC and 15 oC were exactly same (and overlap each other in the figure), indicating that no HbS polymers formed at 15 oC.

Light scattering from Hb in different buffers. (a) Static light scattering of HbA and HbS as a function of scattering angle. The concentrations of HbA in PBS (), HbA in 1.5 M phosphate (), HbS in 1.5 M phosphate (), HbS in 1.8 M phosphate () and HbS in dextran (intensity multiplied sevenfold, ) were 0.15 mM, 0.129 mM, 0.158 mM, 0.133 mM and 1.174 mM (heme), respectively. Scattering intensities were normalized by protein concentrations. (b) Zimm plots of the static light scattering from hemoglobin in different phosphate buffers in Figure 1(a). Zimm plots show that the molecular weights of hemoglobin in high phosphate are large, but the one of HbA in PBS is in the expected range. The average apparent weight-average molecular weights of hemoglobin in different buffers are summarized in Table 1. Table 1.
