33. Band 3 protein exists as a 95-kDa multipass membrane protein that functions as the primary anion exchanger in erythrocytes. Within the red blood cell (RBC) membrane, band 3 binds to spectrin dimers and tetramers indirectly through ankyrin. The spectrin tetramers are bound together by actin and band 4.1 protein, which also binds to band 3 and glycophorin. Null mutations in band 3 occur in the human population. Which one of the following is most likely to decrease in the absence of band 3 protein?

Both of the regular intravenous solutions administered in medicine, normal saline and lactated Ringer’s solution, are isotonic. Why is this important?
One of the more common adverse effects of cancer chemotherapy is the destruction of leukocytes. Before his next scheduled chemotherapy treatment, a patient undergoes a blood test called an absolute neutrophil count (ANC), which reveals that his neutrophil count is 1900 cells per microliter. Would his healthcare team be likely to proceed with his chemotherapy treatment? Why?
30. The cooperative binding behavior of hemoglobin for oxygen is best explained by... Group of answer choices The movement of the proximal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ and formation of the superoxide ion causes distortion of the protoporphyrin ring, altering binding interface between subunits The tetrameric nature of hemoglobin's quaternary structure directly confers cooperative binding activity The movement of the distal histidine upon O2 binding causes a structural change at the binding interface between subunits The binding of O2 causes a pH shift that changes the protonation state of amino acids located at the interface between subunits The solubility of hemoglobin in aqueous solution and its insolubility in nonpolar environments
List 4 different actiated carrier molecules, for each one, list both the oxided and reduced forms
In a molecular disease of hemoglobin, Hemoglobin Rainier, Tyr 145β is replaced by Cys, which forms a disulfide bond with another Cysresidue in the same subunit. This prevents the formation of ion pairs that normally stabilize the T state. How does hemoglobin Rainier differ from normal hemoglobin with respect to the Hill coefficient

2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate lies in a central cavity within the hemoglobin tetramer, stabilizing the T state. What would be the effect of mutations that placed the BPG-binding site on the surface of hemoglobin?
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in the β-globin chain of hemoglobin. Glutamic acid is replaced by Valine. HBB sequence in normal adult hemoglobin (Hb A): Leu-Thr-Pro-Glu-Glu-Lys-Ser HBB sequence in mutant adult hemoglobin (Hb S): Leu-Thr-Pro-Val-Glu-Lys-Ser What effect does this mutation have on the structure and function of the protein? Predict what would happen to the RBC if the glutamic acid was replaced with asparagine instead of valine.
2. It is known hemoglobinopathies, whi ch arise due to mutations in one of histidines a- or B- chains binding with the iron in the heme gro up.These mutations stabilize the iron in Fes form. Some drugs (eg. sulfonamides) or chemicals( eg.anilin) also can cause methemoglobinemia. Suggest, how change the properties of Hb in these cas es. For this:1)Describe the structure and function of Hb A as a transport protein. 2) Explain the role ofiron ions in act ive centers of Hb for the binding of O23) How many molecules of Oz can bind mutant Hb, if mutation occurs in a- subunits? 4) Why can ascorbic acid be used to tr eat of such patients.
