A) illustrate in molecular detail how hemoglobin's reduced oxygen affinity is caused by protonation of the histidine side chain. b) what is the pKa of the histidine side-chain ionizable group expected to have?
One molecule of 2,3-BPG binds to one tetramer of hemoglobin in a central cavity of the hemoglobin molecule. Is the interaction between BPG and hemoglobin stronger or weaker than it would be if BPG bound to the surface of the protein instead? Explain your answer (hint: think about how these different situations affect the dielectric constant). (Please provide clear and sufficient explanation for the question, thank you!)
The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for a polymer made by linking ten glucose molecules together by dehydration reactions? Group of answer choices A. C60H120O60 B. C60H102O51 C. C60H100O50 D. C60H111O51 Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."

Cows that graze on spoiled sweet clover, which contains dicoumarol, die from hemorrhagic disease. The cause of death is defective prothrombin. However, the amino acid composition of the defective prothrombin is identical to that of normal prothrombin. What is the mechanism of action of dicoumarol? Why are the amino acid compositions of the defective and normal prothrombin the same?
