Crystallisation of Hemoglobin

http://scdontology.h3abionet.org/ontology/SCDO_0001997

The process whereby a mutation in a hemoglobin molecule causes conformational changes in the hemoglobin molecule, which cause increased hydrophobicity of the molecule, which result in the formation of crystals consisting of the mutated hemoglobin molecules. This type of crystallisation is observed in hemoglobins with the HbC mutation.
