What impact do mutations in the alpha-chain usually have, if any, on hemoglobin's function? A. T-to-R-state transition B. dimer-dimer stabilization C. Allosteric Regulation D. A & B E. A & C F. A,B, & C
You have discovered a new hemoglobin variant you are calling Hb-21. You have noticed the following from your studies of Hb-21: - The binding constant of Hb-21 is the same at pH 7.1 and 7.4.- The binding constant curves generated by Hb-21 and O2 are sigmoidal.- The Hill coefficient for Hb-21 is 3.-The binding constant for Hb-21 with O2 in the presence of 5mM 2,3-bisphosphglycerate is about 6-times lower instead of the 8-times lower that is observed under these conditions for the wild type enzyme. Use this information to answer questions: Based on this information which of these features of hemoglobin would you conclude are altered in Hb-21 as compared to the wild type hemoglobin? ____ the cooperativity.____ the amount of T versus R state in the tissues. ____ the Bohr effect. What is the major issue for an individual with the Hb-21 variant? Explain exactly what aspect of hemoglobin’s function is altered.

Electrophoresis is performed at PH 6.8 on a mixture of mutated hemoglobin that differ from normal haemoglobin (Hb) only by the substitution of one amino acid- Hb X: Val replaced par Glu - Hb Y: Asp replaced by Leu - Hb Z: Glu replaced by Lys What will be the order of migration between cathode and anode of these mutated Hb compared to normal Hb? Justify your answer.
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.
Two proteins of different molecular weight (mw) are mixed and need to be separated. When eluted through a Sephadex-G50 chromatography column, what is the order of elution (first followed by second)? A. protein with mw of 40 kDa; protein with mw of 20 kDa B. both proteins will elute at the same time C. both proteins will not elute as the combined mw is larger than 50 kDa D. protein with mw of 20 kDa; protein with mw of 40 kD
How many hemoglobin molecules are there in an average red cell? Assume that the molecular weight of the human hemoglobin tetramer is 65 kDa.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are FALSE for hemoglobin? A Demonstrates positive cooperativity and can bind up to four O2 molecule. B It exhibits the 4 levels of protein structure. C It is a trimer with 2 α-helices and 1 β-sheet. D It is an allosteric protein.
The bacteria that you are growing to express biochemisfunase are resistant to ampicillin, so you keep ampicillin in your media to prevent contamination from other bacterial strains. You find a tube of ampicillin in the lab freezer that says “2000x AMP” on the lid, which indicates that it is 2000 times more concentrated than what you need (i.e., a concentration of 1x ampicillin in your media). How much of the 2000x ampicillin stock would you add to your 1.0-L culture to get a final concentration of 1x ampicillin?
Draw the GC base pair at pH 10.
This molecule forms a dimer via pi interactions, resulting to effective molecular stacking. If the molecule can inhibit toxic effects at 0.5mM against gastric carcinoma cells, does it mean that the dimer of this nucleoside analogue will exhibit an IC50 of about 0.25mM?
What does an A280 of 0.000 indicate? What does this reading indicate in the context of your column chromatography? Are there still proteins adhering to the column? Do you know anything about the proteins which are still adhering to the column?
