Abstract
THE technique of ‘fingerprinting’ developed by Ingram1 has proved to be of great value in the molecular analysis of haemoglobins. In principle, it is a combined paper electrophoresis and chromatography of the peptides released by enzymatic digestion, of haemoglobin. This enables the location of a probably occurring difference to a particular peptide. The method has proved its importance especially in the detection of amino-acid differences in normal and abnormal haemoglobins. This communication describes a modified system for fingerprinting haemoglobins.
