Question
Chapter 14.4, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The change in the single amino acid in hemoglobin that results in the aggregation of hemoglobin in long fibers.
Concept introduction:
The primary structure of proteins is the linear sequence of amino acids. It determines the shape and the functional ability of the protein. A small change in the amino acid sequence can alter a protein’s shape and its functions.
