In Ch. plumosus and Ch. riparius there were revealed various structural hemoglobin variants including monomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers, hexamers, and octamers. The multitude of the protein organization ways seems to be based on diversity of the monomers with the approximately equal molecular weight from 12 to 16 kDa in Ch. plumosus and from 11.8 to 15.2 kDa in C. riparus. In PAGE with 8 M urea, the hemoglobins were aggregated into high molecular complexes with mol. weights about 260 and 180 kDa in Ch. plumosus and about 523 and 174 kDa in C. riparus.
