(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the hemoglobin Rainier differ from the normal hemoglobin with respect to the oxygen affinity.

Concept introduction: Hemoglobin is the protein that has iron ion bound to it and carries the oxygen from the lungs to rest of the parts of the body. Several hemoglobin variants have been discovered. One such variant is the hemoglobin Rainier. The hemoglobin exists in two states T state and R state as proposed by the Scientist Max Perutz, that are also the stable conformational states of the hemoglobin.

(b)

Biochemistry What is the process of "transamination" in either the muscles or the liver, that involves keto acid or glutamic acid? Please explain how the steps work. Thank you!
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you What is the importance of glutamic acid in the metabolism of nitrogen from amino acids? (we know therole; it’s used to remove the nitrogen from amino acids so that the remaining carbon skeleton can bebroken down by the “usual” pathways, but what is the important, unique role that only glutamicacid/glutamate can do?)
Biochemistry Please help. Thank you When carbamyl phosphate is joined to L-ornathine, where does the energy for the reaction come from?
