Hemoglobin–Albumin Cluster Incorporating a Pt Nanoparticle: Artificial O2 Carrier with Antioxidant Activities
Figure 1
Schematic illustrations of Hb-HSA3(PtNP) cluster.
The Cys-34 of HSA and the surface Lys group of Hb were connected covalently with a crosslinking agent (SMCC). A PtNP was bound within the cleft of the exterior HSA unit and performed SOD and catalase activities.
