Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7E
(a)
Summary Introduction
To explain: The p50 of hemoglobin Yakima is higher or lower.
Concept introduction: Hemoglobin is the protein that has an iron ion bound to it and carries oxygen from the lungs to rest of the parts of the body. The partial pressure of oxygen that is required to attain half saturation or 50% saturation of the oxygen-binding sites in the hemoglobin is known as p50. Several hemoglobin variants have been discovered. One such variant is the hemoglobin Yakima.
(b)

We always include controls in the Annexin-V-GFP/Propidium Iodide flow cytometric assay to study apoptosis. List four types of controls in this assay.
Why do we need these controls? Explain your answers.
After the flow assay, if we like to examine the morphology of the viable, early apoptotic and late apoptotic cells by confocal microscopy, what can we do and what are the expected results?
3. (2 points) Your lab partner accidentally used a pen instead of a pencil to mark the baseline and label the
lanes of their TLC plate. Briefly (1-2 sentences for each point) describe (a) what would happen to the ink
when you develop the TLC plate; and (b) how this would affect the experiment.
