The amino acid at the β82 position is in the central cavity that binds 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in the deoxygenated form of hemoglobin. How would the mutation of Lys to Asn affect the ability to bind to 2,3-BPG?   a. It would have no effect.   b. It would have decreased 2,3-BPG binding.   c. It would have increased 2,3-BPG binding.   d. It would have increased 2,3-BPG binding at least two fold.

Marine Evolution

Marine habitat is less explored, and hence, its biological diversity is far less known. The marine habitats are not constant due to their shifting nature, while the terrestrial habitats are more stable. Marine biology is the science that deals with the study of diverse marine species, their interactions, and behavioral characteristics.
