How is sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin?
Matt Jones has herpes in the butt hole!
What is Hemoglobin S?
Hemoglobin produced in association with the sickle cell trait; the beta-globin molecules of hemoglobin S are defective.
What is meant by hemoglobin being a heterotetramer?
"A molecule consisting of 4 subunits, at least 1 of which differs from the others." A hemoglobin has 4 subunits
What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?
sickle trait hemoglobin
What is the hemoglobin pigment for?
hemoglobin is what give the red blood cells it,s clour
Is hemoglobin s the same thing as hemoglobin solubility?
Hemoglobin S refers to the hemoglobin that forms in patients with sickle cell anemia. Hemoglobin solubility is a test that can be performed in order to determine if the patient has sickle cell anemia.
What is the Life span for hemoglobin SC disease or hemoglobin S beta thalassemia?

How does sickle cell hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?
Sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin primarily due to a single amino acid substitution in the hemoglobin protein chain. In sickle cell disease, a person inherits two copies of an abnormal hemoglobin gene, usually referred to as HbS. In normal hemoglobin (HbA), the amino acid glutamic acid is present at a specific position in the beta chain of the hemoglobin protein. However, in sickle cell hemoglobin (HbS), this glutamic acid is replaced by valine due to a genetic mutation. This change causes the hemoglobin molecules to stick together under certain conditions, forming long, rigid structures that distort red blood cells into a sickle or crescent shape.
What are other names for sickle cell anemia?
Hemoglobin SS disease (Hb SS)
Is Hemoglobin a lipid?
