Lyophilized annelid mega-hemoglobin retains its' quaternary structure and oxygen equilibrium properties after room temperature storage for over 6 months.
The long-term storage stability and portability of hemoglobin (Hb)-based oxygen carriers are important design criteria in the development of these therapeutics. Lyophilization or storing proteins in a freeze-dried form is known to increase storage lifetime and reduce overall weight. In this study, w...
