“…A new orthogonal Hb purification technology provides complete removal of viruses and prion proteins . Chemical stabilization of Hb molecule along with modulating its oxygen affinity, creating stable polymeric structures with advanced cross‐linkers, decreasing its pro‐oxidative activity by engineering tyrosine electron transfer pathway and protecting heme by conjugation with antioxidants (i.e., GSH, nitroxyl radicals, SOD, catalase, carbonic anhydrase), alleviating its vasoconstrictive potential by protection of beta 93 cysteine (i.e., with 4,4′‐dithiodipyridine), targeted decoration with PEG, pharmacological modification with vasodilators (i.e., ATP, adenosine, NO‐donors), and CO‐saturated products are taking the lead . Classical Hb encapsulation is still in use and has become more advanced.…”
