title: A novel cross-linking reagent for bovine hemoglobin modification.
abstract: A novel cross-linking reagent, methoxypolyethelene glycol-glutamic acid, was synthesized and used to modify bovine hemoglobin. Bis-tetrameric hemoglobin with moderate affinity for O2 was obtained under the controlled reaction conditions.
