Question
1. Draw the side chains of glutamic acid and valine below.
2. Describe the difference in the chemical properties of the side chains of glutamic
acid and valine (look at their structures, think to which group of amino acids they
belong, and discuss how they would behave as part of a protein).
3. How do you think this mutation (from a glutamic acid to a valine) affects the
structure and function of the hemoglobin protein?
