"isolation" of haemoglobin

There should not be a problem resuspending hemoglobin from ammonium 
sulphate precipitate.  Just macerate the precipitate with a glass rod and 
water dropwise, while continuing to macerate.  At some point, the 
precipitate should dissolve into a clear solution.

You will now that the hemoglobin is not denatured if it is still red (the 
binding of the heme group to the protein requires an intact molecule).

If I am not mistaken, TCA will denature hemoglobin irreversibly.
