Dielectric studies of aggregation phenomena with separated alpha and beta chains of human hemoglobin.

Abstract

The concentration dependence of the dielectric dispersion between 100 kHz and 15 MHz has been investigated for separated α and β chains of human hemoglobin. It is shown that such dielectric measurements can give very detailed information on aggregation phenomena. Specific dielectric increments and dipole moments of monomeric and aggregated chains could be obtained.
