Human hemoglobin can react with sugars in the blood (usually glucose) to form covalent adducts. The α-amino groups of N-terminal valine in the Hb -subunits react with the C-1 (aldehyde) carbons of monosaceharides to form aldimine add wets, which rearrange to form very stable ketoamine products. Quantitation of this “glycated hemoglobin is important clinically, especially for diabetic individuals. Suggest at least three methods by which glycated lib (also referred to as HbA1c) could be separated from normal Hb and quantitated.arrow_forward

Table 5.4 presents some of the many known mutations in the genes encoding the a- and -globin subunits of hemoglobin. a. Some of these mutations affect subunit interactions between the Subunits. In an examination of the tertiary structure of globin chains, where would you expect to find amino acid changes in mutant globins that affect formation of the hemoglobin 22quaternary structure? b. Other mutations, such as the S form of the-globin chain, increase the tendency of hemoglobin tetramers to polymerize into very large structures. Where might you expect the amino acid substitutions to be in these mutants?arrow_forwardAnswers to all problems are at the end of this book.
