5. A histidine residue (His146) in Hb subunit has a side chain pKa of 6.2 in the lung. Due to a conformational shift of Hb in the muscle, an amino acid moves into the close proximity of this histidine, shifting this His146 pka to 7.7: • a) what is the net charge of this His146 in the lung at pH 7.6 (show all the calculations)? • b) what is the net charge of this His146 in the muscle at pH 7.2 (show all the calculations)? • c) what is the likely identity of the residue that causes the pKa shift for His146 residue? Explain why such residue causes the shift in the histidine pka.
