Summary Introduction

To determine: The effect on all three higher levels of proteins (secondary, tertiary, and quaternary) if three amino acids are missing in the primary sequence causing a condition of anemia.

Primary structure may be defined as the sequence of amino acids whereas all the three higher levels of structures (secondary, tertiary, and quaternary) are produced from the interaction between amino acids residues.
