Which statement about BPG's interaction with hemoglobin is correct? Group of answer choices BPG binds with a stoichiometry of one molecule per hemoglobin subunit Without BPG, hemoglobin would not be able to release oxygen in muscle tissue BPG stimulates the ability of hemoglobin to take up oxygen in the lungs BPG binding counters the Bohr effect in muscle tissue, causing an increase in pH BPG's negative charge interferes with ion pair formation, thus favoring the R state

A person was found to have very low levels of functional beta globin mRNA and therefore very low levels of the beta globin protein. What problems would this cause for assembling functional haemoglobin molecules?
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
Sickle cell anemia is associated with which of the following: Question 27 options: Sticky patches on the hemoglobin surface only present in the T-state Sticky patches on the hemoglobin surface only present in the R-state A mutant form of hemoglobin called Ɣ-hemoglobin Decreased ability to stabilize the T-state with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate Decreased ability to bind heme because of the Bohr effect
What is the allosteric effect on O2 binding to the second subunit of hemoglobin after the first subunit binds after O2 binding? to 02? What state would hemoglobin be O A decrease in affinity of hemoglobin for 02: T-State O An increase in affinity of hemoglobin for O2: T-State An increase in affinity of hemoglobin for 02; R-State O A decrease in affinity of hemoglobin for O2; R-State
O, saturation curve is shown beloww for hemoglobin at various pHs. Detail this Bohr effect from the molecular perspective. Be sure to include discussion of what causes this (i.e. specific amino acids), why the curves are right shifted with decreasing pH, and why this is logical in delivery of 02 to areas of higher demand. 100 Myoglobin 80- pH 7.6 60 pH 7.4 pll 7.2 40- pH 7.0 pH 6.8 20- Venous 0- 0. 20 10 60 80 Percent saturation
A researcher, in a study involving acid-base properties of RBC's notices the resistance of change in pH, when a small amount of acid or base is added to it. Buffering action of hemoglobin in RBCS is most likely attributed to presence of which of the following factors in the globin chains? Alpha helical structures В Beta pleated sheets C Ferric state of iron D Ferrous state of iron E Histidine residues
Hemoglobin from different species can have different numbers of subunits. Let's consider three hemoglobin molecules: n = 1, n = 4, and n = 8, where each subunit has an oxygen P50 = 30 torr. (Recall that Pso is essentially a Kp and that oxygen partial pressure (torr) is directly proportional to concentration.) Which molecule transports the most O2 between the lungs (pO2 = 100 torr) and peripheral tissues (pO2 = 30 torr)? Please justify your answer.
The inner leaflet (monolayer) of the human erythrocyte membrane consists predominantly of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. The outer leaflet consists predominantly of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin. Although the phospholipid components of the membrane can diffuse in the fluid bilayer, this sidedness is preserved at all times. How?
0.3 M Glycerin, 0.3 Urea are both 0.3, but thei effect on RBCs is very different than 0.3 M Glucose. Glycerin = glycerol, which is a non-polar molecule. Urea is a small molecule which passes though membrane easily by facilitated diffusion. Predict the fate of a red blood cell placed in 0.3 M glycerin and in a 0.3 M Urea. Explain why these changes might take place.
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).
Which of the following statements is false concerning the structure of hemoglobin? a. The binding of BPG stabilizes the T-state of Hb b. The R-state of Hb is favored under environments of high concentrations of O2 c. Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as protons ionize from the N-terminal tails d. Hemoglobin is stabilized in the low affinity state in the presence of high concentration of protons e. Hemoglobin favors the R-state in basic environments
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.
