1) The plot to the right shows the Oxygen Saturation of Hemoglobin (Hb) versus O2 concentration. a) The Kd between HBa and HBB chains is 100 nM. When L35S mutation (Leucine 35 → Serine) is introduced into the Hba chain the Kd changes to 300 mm. \^^^^^A^A Draw a dashed curve on the figure to the right that represents how this mutation would likely change the curve.

In one type of hemoglobin variant, lysine EF6 is replaced by an aspartic acid residue. What would be the effects of this mutation on the affinity of the hemoglobin for 2,3 BPG and oxygen? The affinity for 2,3-BPG would increase, and for oxygen would decrease. The affinity for 2,3-BPG would decrease, and for oxygen would decrease. The affinities for 2,3-BPG and for oxygen would be unaffected. The affinity for 2,3-BPG would increase, and for oxygen would increase. The affinity for 2,3-BPG would decrease, and for oxygen would increase.
