Human hemoglobin was alkylated with (+/-)-7 beta,8 alpha-dihydroxy-9 alpha,10 alpha-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene (BPDE) and then treated with aqueous (+/-)-3-amino-1,2-propanediol to convert alkylated carboxyl side chains to N-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) amides. Tryptic peptides produced from the modified protein were subjected to affinity chromatography on phenylboronic
