Apohemoglobin (apoHb) is a dimeric globular protein with two vacant heme‐binding. The preparationof apoHb is based on partial hemoglobin (Hb) unfolding to facilitate heme extraction into an organic solvent. What is an appropriate method for removing the heme? a. An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of ureaas the denaturing agent. b. An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent. c. A basic buffer to deprotonate the His axial ligand in the presence of ureaas the denaturing agent. d. An basic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent.
