Hemoglobin-albumin cluster incorporating a Pt nanoparticle: artificial O2 carrier with antioxidant activities.

A covalent core-shell structured protein cluster composed of hemoglobin (Hb) at the center and human serum albumins (HSA) at the periphery, Hb-HSAm, is an artificial O2 carrier that can function as a red blood cell substitute. Here we described the preparation of a novel Hb-HSA3 cluster with antioxi...
