The reaction of ascorbate with recombinant hemoglobin (rHb1.1) in the presence of differing partial pressures of oxygen was studied. In the presence of 15 000 ppm (1.5%) residual oxygen, ascorbate/oxygen-mediated reactions resulted in an increased rate of autoxidation, modification of the beta-globin, increased oxygen affinity and decreased maximum Hill coefficient. One of the observed modifications to the beta-globin was a`72 Da addition to its N-terminus. Detailed characterization indicates the modification was an imidazolidinone type structure. Thorough deoxygenation of the hemoglobin solution to
