The amino acid sequence of the sickle cell allele for hemoglobin varies from the normal allele for hemoglobin by one amino acid. The sickle cell allele for hemoglobin has valine instead of glutamic acid. When the oxygen level of the blood decreases, the hemoglobin molecules come out of solution, stick together, and form long chains that cause the red blood cells to become sickle shaped.
