The mutated form of hemoglobin (hemoglobin S, or HbS) in sickle-cell anemia results from
the replacement of a glutamate residue by a valine residue at position 6 in the ß chain of the
protein. Normal hemoglobin is designated HbA.
Under conditions of low [O₂], HbS aggregates and distorts the red blood cell into a sickle
shape. See image of eight aggregated HbS molecules. Sickled red blood cells are relatively
inflexible and may clog capillary beds, causing pain and tissue damage. The sickled red
blood cells also have a shorter life span, leading to anemia.
Which amino acids would be expected to produce a similar sickling effect if substituted for Val at position 6?
arginine
phenylalanine
Aggregate of HbS molecules
lysine
leucine
alanine
Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small, hydrophobic pocket in a B

4) In the lab you are extracting and enzyme called catalase
from a potato and want to use this enzyme to speed up a
reaction in the lab. The potato usually grows in soil pH of
5.5 and a temperature of 18 °C. You extract the enzyme and
run a reaction with it in the following conditions. pH 9.5
and temperature = 20 °C. What can be said about the
enzymes activity? If activity is low how would you correct
this issue? Please explain in detail and in your own words.
All amino acids have two ionizable functional groups: an a-amino group (average pK, of 9.4) and an a-carboxylic acid group
(average pK, of 2.2). Glutamic acid has an ionizable side chain (R group) with a pK, of about 4.1. One of the possible
ionization states of glutamic acid is shown in the image.
H₂N-CH-C-OH
CH₂
At what pH would this structure of glutamic acid be the predominant ionization state? Consider the ionization state of all
three of the functional groups.
OH
The protonated form of the R group of glutamic acid is shown in the structure. The ratio of the protonated form to the charged
(deprotonated) form depends on the pK, of the R group and the pH of the solution.
2.6
4.1
1.5
Select the pH values at which the charged form of the R group would predominate.
