title: Crystallography and oriented single crystal electron microscopy of hemoglobin deer II, a hemoglobin that exhibits matchstick-shaped erythrocytes.
abstract: Deer hemoglobin beta chain type II has been crystallized and preliminary diffraction data and oriented single crystal transmission electron micrographs have been obtained. The crystals are monoclinic P21 with Z = 4. The electron micrographs show a herringbonelike structure in the ab plane with open rectangular solvent channels and a fiber-like arrangement of molecules perpendicular to this plane.
