Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a stable minor Hb variant formed in vivo by posttranslational modification by glucose, originally identified by using cation exchange chromatography, and containing primarily glycated N-terminal beta-chains. However, the structure(s) of the quantified species has not been ...
