- 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.

What is the most likely reason for this difference in reactivity?arrow_forwardThe 2-3 phosphoglycerate (BFG) binds to the central gap formed by the hemoglobin monomers (a2b2) facilitating the reversible release of oxygen. Approximate relationships between BFG concentrations in red blood cells and Pos in hemoglobin are in the table.a) Draw the reaction schemeb) Write the forces that condition the union between hemoglobin and BFGarrow_forward

Which variant is a more effective delivery system to the the muscles (~20 torr)? Select ] Fraction of Hb bounw with Oxygenarrow_forwardYou have discovered a new hemoglobin variant you are calling Hb-21. You have noticed the following from your studies of Hb-21: - The binding constant of Hb-21 is the same at pH 7.1 and 7.4.- The binding constant curves generated by Hb-21 and O2 are sigmoidal.- The Hill coefficient for Hb-21 is 3.-The binding constant for Hb-21 with O2 in the presence of 5mM 2,3-bisphosphglycerate is about 6-times lower instead of the 8-times lower that is observed under these conditions for the wild type enzyme. Use this information to answer questions: Based on this information which of these features of hemoglobin would you conclude are altered in Hb-21 as compared to the wild type hemoglobin? ____ the cooperativity.____ the amount of T versus R state in the tissues. ____ the Bohr effect. What is the major issue for an individual with the Hb-21 variant? Explain exactly what aspect of hemoglobin’s function is altered.arrow_forward
