Fetal erythrocytes contain astructural variant of hemoglobin, HbF, consisting of two α and two γ subunits (α2 γ2 ), whereas maternal erythrocytes contain HbA (α2β2).(a) Which hemoglobin has a higher affinity for oxygen under physiological conditions, HbA or HbF? Explain.(b) What is the physiological significance of the different O2 affinities?(c) When all the BPG is carefully removed from samples of HbA and HbF, the measured O2 -saturation curves (and consequently the O2 affinities) are displaced to the left. However, HbA now has a greater affinity for oxygen than does HbF. When BPG is reintroduced, the O2 -saturation curves return to normal, as shown in the graph. What is the effect of BPG on the O2 affinity of hemoglobin? How can the above information be used to explain the different O2 affinities of fetal and…

- Normal Hgb is referred to as HbA and contains 4 subunits, 2 a-globin chains and 2 B-globin chains, arranged as two dimers of aß. In Sickle Cell Disease, both B-globin chains are altered in the dimers (aßS/aßS). Q3: Which level of structure does the aß/aß and aßS/aßS in HbA and HbS describe?You are considering transport of Fe3+ out of a biological cell with a membrane potential of -60 mV. What is the value for delta psi in this case?
