The following sequence of amino acids are part of adult hemoglobin from the N-terminus. DRAW THE STRUCTURE OF THIS PEPTIDE. Val-His-Leu-Thr-Pro-Glu-Glu-Lys-Ser-Ala-Val-Thr
Apohemoglobin (apoHb) is a dimeric globular protein with two vacant heme‐binding. The preparationof apoHb is based on partial hemoglobin (Hb) unfolding to facilitate heme extraction into an organic solvent. What is an appropriate method for removing the heme? a. An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of ureaas the denaturing agent. b. An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent. c. A basic buffer to deprotonate the His axial ligand in the presence of ureaas the denaturing agent. d. An basic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent.
One molecule of 2,3-BPG binds to one tetramer of hemoglobin in a central cavity of the hemoglobin molecule. Is the interaction between BPG and hemoglobin stronger or weaker than it would be if BPG bound to the surface of the protein instead? Explain your answer (hint: think about how these different situations affect the dielectric constant).
The amino acid in Hemoglobin that is most found to be most sensitive to pH changes, and hence affects Oxygen binding process around pH 7 is Valine Tyrosine Histidine Aspartic Acid
Myoglobin monomers are likely to have more hydrophilic amino acids on the protein surface than Hemoglobin monomers. True or False

HbA1c is a glycated hemoglobin in which a glucose molecule is covalently bound to the N-terminal valine of a hemoglobin subunit. True False
The primary and tertiary structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin are very similar and both contain the 'heme' group as an oxygen-binding prosthetic group. However this There are important functional differences between the two proteins. Hemoglobin oxygen transport protein, myoglobin functions as oxygen storage protein. Hemoglobin and consider the structural differences and oxygen binding curves between myoglobin why myoglobin is a good oxygen transport protein, while hemoglobin Explain why it cannot be a good oxygen storage protein.
There are almost 500 naturally occurring variants of hemoglobin. Most are the result of a single amino acid substitution in a globin polypeptide chain. Some variants produce clinical illness, though not all variants have deleterious effects. A brief sample follows.
In a molecular disease of hemoglobin, Hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145β is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cysresidue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to the Hill coefficient
