Chapter 7, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given hemoglobin mutation are:

  1. β146(HC3) His → Asp
  2. β 92(F8) His → Leu

To compare native and mutant hemoglobin that would move faster to the anode. pI of hemoglobin is 7.0 and the electrophoresis is done at pH is 8.0.

Concept Introduction:

pI is also known as the isoeletcric point. It is the pH at which an amino has no net charge. The amino acid exists as a zwitterion at its pI. In a zwitterion the net positive charge is balanced by the net negative charge.
