Abstract
Structural analysis of hemoglobin P reveals a substitution of the histidine by an arginine residue at β 117, in the helical position G 19. In both subjects with Hgb. P trait there are slight morphologic abnormalities of the erythrocytes-hypochromia, anisopoikilocytosis, and targeting. These may reflect molecular instability due to a disturbance of the pattern of hydrogen bonds in the α1β1 region of the molecule.
