- he doctor also mentioned a new treatment for Sickle Cell Disease to JJ called Voxelotor (Oxbryta). Voxelotor binds to the a-globin chain and alters the structure of HbS stabilizing it in the R-state (relaxed state). Q7: In the presence of Voxelotor would you expect the affinity of HbS for O2 to increase or decrease? Q8: How would you classify the mechanism of action for Voxelotor? Q9: Voxelotor's structure is shown below. What would you expect the overall charge of the molecule to be in the blood (pH = 7.4) Pyridinium pKa = 2.6 Phenol pKa = 8.3Which of the following are true of normal adult hemoglobin? Choice 1 of 4:can bind four Fe2+ ions Choice 2 of 4:can covalently bind four O2 molecules Choice 3 of 4:can adopt 2 different conformations, with different orientations of αβ dimers Choice 4 of 4:can bind four BPG molecules to stabilize the T stateThe doctor also mentioned a new treatment for Sickle Cell Disease to JJ called Voxelotor (Oxbryta).

- 1. Briefly describe the affect of the glutamic acid to valine mutation on the Hemoglobin protein as it relates to Sickle Cell Anemia. 2. Is your prediction (from question 3 in Part I) consistent with the description of the cause of the sickle-cell anemia disease (from the BME3D computer tutorial)? Explain.Fetal hemoglobin binds to BPG to a lesser extent than does HbA because His 143 in the BPG binding pocket in β-globin has been replaced with a serine residue in γ-globin. As a result of the loss of two positive charges (one for each of two γ-globins), the binding pocket binds BPG less avidly. What are the consequences of this phenomenon for mother and fetus?please help answer this question Explain how ACE2-like carboxypeptidase B38-CAP protects from SARS-CoV-2-induced lung injury in the paper by Yamaguchi et al.?
