In addition to O, binding, changes in other chemical conditions can result in hemoglobin changes. pH is one of those factors. It can be understood by reaction #1. Red blood cells have the enzyme Carbonic Anhydrase which catalyzes reaction #2. Using the two reactions explain how pH contributes to the transfer of O2 from the lungs to the tissues.

Human serum albumin is another protein that has an extremely long half life in the body. Due to this, the low probability event, glycation does take place. Write a rate law for this reaction: Rate = k[glucose] Rate = k[hemoglobin] Rate = k [glucose hemoglobin albumin]
1- 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate (1,3-BPG) is a phosphoryl group donor during the synthesis of ATP in the reaction: 1,3-BPG + ADP → 3-Phosphoglycerate + ATP In human erythrocytes, the steady-state concentration of ATP is 2.24 mM, that of ADP is 0.25 mM, and that of 3-Phosphoglycerate is 0.15 mM.

Fumaric acid, H2C;H;O4, is a diprotic acid (K,1 = 9.3 x 104, Ka2 = 3. i x 10). Physiologically, it is an intermediate in the Krebs Cycle which produces energy by the oxidation of carbon to carbon dioxide. Ifblood is buffered at 7.4, which statement is TRUE?

Cows that graze on spoiled sweet clover, which contains dicoumarol, die from hemorrhagic disease. The cause of death is defective prothrombin. However, the amino acid composition of the defective prothrombin is identical to that of normal prothrombin. What is the mechanism of action of dicoumarol? Why are the amino acid compositions of the defective and normal prothrombin the same?
Acid phosphatases are an important group of enzymes that can be detected in human blood serum. Under slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.0), this group of enzymes can hydrolyze biological phosphate esters as follows: R-O-P-O;² + H 20 → R-OH + HO-P-O;² Acid phosphatases are produced and can be detected in erythrocytes, kidney, spleen, the liver, and prostrate gland. The enzyme from the prostrate gland is clinically important because an increased activity in the blood is frequently an indication of cancer of the prostrate gland. Tartrate ion can strongly inhibit the phosphatase from the prostrate gland, but not acid phosphatases from other tissues. How can you use the information above to develop a specific

Hemoglobin glycation (so named to distinguish it from glycosylation, which is the enzymatic transfer of glucose to a protein) is a non-enzymatic process that involves reaction of the N-terminal amino group of hemoglobin and glucose. The amount of glycated hemoglobin (GHB) is usually about 5% of total hemoglobin (and corresponds to a blood glucose concentration of 120 mg/100 mL). However, in people with untreated diabetes this value may be as high as 13%, which indicates an average blood level of about 300 mg/100 mL -dangerously high. One of the aims of insulin therapy is to maintain GHB values of about 7%. Draw a possible chemical scheme for the glycation of hemoglobin.
