- A person was found to have very low levels of functional beta globin mRNA and therefore very low levels of the beta globin protein. What problems would this cause for assembling functional haemoglobin molecules?What qualitative effect would you expect each of the following to have onthe P50 of hemoglobin?(a) Increase in pH from 7.2 to 7.4(b) Increase in PCO2 from 20 to 40 mm Hg(c) Dissociation into monomer polypeptide chains(d) Decrease in 2,3-BPG concentration from 7 mM to 5 mM in red cells.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
- A new oxygen transport protein that exhibits cooperative binding has been isolated and is beingstudied in the lab. Calculate the KD value if Y = 0.76 when pO2 = 18 torr (assume n = 2.5). Howdoes this compare to the KD value for hemoglobin? Does this protein bind more or less tightly tooxygen compared to hemoglobin?which of adult haemoglobin or foetal haemoglobin will have a lower P50 value for binding O2. Be sure to define the term P50 and mention at a molecular level what interactions and structure differences are contribute to the observed values.A variant of hemoglobin (Boston variant; mutation His E7(58)α → Tyr) promotes methemoglobin formation involving the α (alpha) subunits. What is the maximum value of the Hill constant (n) that you could measure for the Boston variant of hemoglobin? log (YO2 / 1 - YO2 ) = log pO2 - logP50 Please break down each step of the Hill equation and explain why the result for n is valid from a logical standpoint.
- 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 Hillcoefficient? Explain your answers.From the figure of O2 binding to myoglobin and hemoglobin (ignore the linemarked as T) as described in lecture (shown below) answer the following questions. a) Estimate the P50 for myoglobin from the plot. Show how this estimation isdetermined from the binding curve above. ( The first ghraph) b)Using YO2 = PO2/P50 + PO2 , calculate the fraction of O2 bound for myoglobin at 1 torr. (2nd graph) c)Using the binding curve on the previous page, show how you can estimate whatfraction of hemoglobin is bound near tissues at a pO2 of 30 torr and provide this value. If the pH were lowered, will the amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin at 30 torr increaseor decrease? Explain why this is so based on how this changes hemoglobin structure. If 2,3-BPG were added to the solution, will the amount of O2 bound to hemoglobin at30 torr increase or decrease? Explain why this is so based on how this changes hemoglobinstructure.Approximate nH for each protein from its Hill plot. Which proteins exhibits a greater degree of positive cooperativity, normal hemoglobin or the mutant hemoglobin?
- Comparison of Fetal and Maternal Hemoglobins.Studies of oxygen transport in pregnant mammals show that the O2-saturation curves of fetal and maternal blood are markedly different when measured under the same conditions. Fetal erythrocytes contain a structural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting oftwo a and two g subunits (α2γ2), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α2β2). a)Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain. b)What is the physiological significance of the different O2 affinities? c)When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O2-saturation curves (and consequently the O2affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O2-saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the graph. What is the effect of BPG on the O2affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used…In an experiment, hemoglobin is dissociated in a buffer and a subunit is isolated to study for its oxygen binding affinity. (i) What is the shape of the oxygen dissociation curve is expected in the experiment?Explain why. (ii) Is the Km of the isolated subunit higher or lower than the Km of an intact hemoglobin?a) What are the methods used for cholesterol determination? Explain the basis of the method you used in your experiment by writing.b) In the experiment conducted for the determination of cholesterol, the function of the calibration curve obtained using standard cholesterol solutions of 25-400mg/dl was determined as y= 0.0009x.Since the absorbance of the serum sample was determined as 0.28, how many mg/L is the amount of cholesterol in the sample
