The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered 02-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site. A rationale for the observed reduction in O2-binding affinity is: A. The positive charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other negative charged side chains stabilizing R-conformer. B. The negative charge on the Asp side chain can form salt bridges with other positive charged side chains stabilizing the T-conformer. C. The Asp side chain mimics the positive charge on BPG. D. The Asp side chain mimics the negative charge on BPG. E. The Asp side chain is a nucleophile that attacks the BPG. BPG attacks the Asp side chain. G. Stabilization of the R-conformer favors 0, release. H. Stabilization of the T-conformer favors 0, release. F.

The mutation in hemoglobin at B82 Lys → Asp results in lowered O,-binding affinity compared to normal hemoglobin. B82 is one of the residues that lines the 2,3-BPG binding site (see Figure 7.29; B82 is adjacent to His143). Based on the location of this residue and the differences between Lys and Asp, sug- gest a rationale for the observed reduction in Oz-binding affinity.
If there was a molecule that causes Hb to be more stable in the T state, this molecule would: a. Generally, raise the affinity of Hb for O2 b. Generally, lower the affinity of Hb for O2 c. Generally, cause Mb to favor the R state while Hb is in the T state d. Generally, cause Hb to dissociate into αβ dimers

The T state of hemoglobin is converted to the R state by what event? Select one: The binding of oxygen destabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal histidine and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. а. b. None of these. The binding of oxygen stabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal proline and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface. С. d. The binding of oxygen stabilizes a more planar heme ring which alters the position of the proximal histidine and subsequently, residues between the alß2 interface.

A very new Hemoglobin variant, called Hb simplex, has just been identified in patients with hypoxia (i.e. patients for whom the oxygenation of organs is not properly accomplished). However, this variant is able to bind dioxygen with a Kd which is significantly lower to that of Hemoglobin from normal patients. This effect has been associated with the substitution of a Lys by a Met at two distinct sites of the b subunit of Hemoglobin : one site close to the N-terminus, and the other site close to the C-terminus of the polypeptide chain. Most importantly, these 2 sites are known to be involved in the maintain of the physical interactions between the subunits a and b in Hemoglobin. 1) The aforementioned Hb simplex mutations lead to a loss of physical interactions between the subunits a and b. What type(s) of chemical bonds between the 2 subunits (i.e. covalent, electrostatic, ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, van der waals) would you hypothesize to be affected by these mutations? explain. 2)…
