RESUMO

Aspirin acetylates a variety of sites on both the α and β chains of hemoglobin S. Nevertheless, the vast majority of acetyl groups become attached to three loci: βLys 59, βLys 144, and αLys 90. These observations reveal some molecular details of this transacylation reaction and suggest interesting possibilities for its extension to other acylsalicylates with a variety of different structures.
