Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Benzene hexacarboxylate-monosubstituted polyoxyethylene on contact with Hb decreases its oxygen affinity, probably because it specifically interacts with the amino groups of the phosphate-binding site. This site specificity was used to direct the covalent coupling of this polymeric reagent with hemoglobin, in the vicinity of this β cleft in order to obtain conjugates with low oxygen affinity and well-defined molecular weight. Such conjugates could thus be regarded as potential candidates for blood substitutes. Covalent fixation of this polymeric site-labeling reagent onto hemoglobin was carried out with the oxy and the deoxy form in the presence of a water soluble carbodiimide. It turns out that the oxygen-binding properties of the resulting hemoglobin derivatives depend on the reaction conditions, yet in all cases the oxygen affinity of the modified protein was lower than that of native hemoglobin and was no longer affected by organic phosphates. These results indicate that phosphate-binding site amines are probably involved in the covalent coupling, although in some conjugates (especially those prepared with high ratios of reagents) other amino groups participate also in the linking to the polymer. Chromatographic analysis and trypic peptide mapping of some conjugates evidenced that the β-terminal valine residue was in fact the preferential binding site of hexacarboxylate-monosubstituted polyoxyethylene. © 1991 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
