Human hemoglobin Pôrto Alegre and mouse hemoglobin (BALB/cJ) polymerize by forming intermolecular disulfide bridges. Both hemoglobins have externally oriented, reactive cysteinyl residues in the A-helix of the beta chain. Hemoglobin Pôrto Alegre can be designated as α 2 β 2 9 Ser → Cys . The crysteinyl residue of the mouse hemoglobin is at position 13 in the beta chain.
