Characterization of Band 3 Variant G130R Using Site-Directed Spin Labeling and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance

In this thesis, the structural differences between wild-type band 3 and band 3 Fukuoka, the G130R mutant identified in cases of hereditary spherocytosis associated with reduction of protein 4.2, are examined. The G130R mutation occurs on the solvent-facing side of helix 2 on the globular portion of...
