title: Structure of human hemoglobin C: a disease with intraerythrocytic crystals.
abstract: Crystals of human cyanomethemoglobin C (beta 6A3 glu leads to Lys) crystallized in the orthorhombic space group P212121, A = 158(1), B = 65.5(4), C = 54.9(5) A with Z =4. Single crystal electron micrographs show filaments parallel to the b direction. The molecules are unusually densely packed compared to other hemoglobin crystals, and this may be related to the ease of intraerythrocytic crystallization.
