    Abstract:
    A new electrophoreticaly neutral hemoglobin variant was found by ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The molecular mass of the beta-chain was shifted down 28 mass units. The modification was found in the beta T-11 peptide that co-elutes with beta T-14 in the tryptic HPLC profile. Collision-induced decomposition of the protonated modified peptide indicated the Arg --> Lys exchange at the C-terminus. This modifies the fragmentation pattern as charge-remote processes induced by the strong basicity of arginine were replaced by charge-induced mechanisms. The exchanged 104Arg is one of the chloride binding sites in the central cavity of Hb.
