What is the molecular basis for the difference in the electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S?

The difference in electrophoretic pattern between normal hemoglobin A and hemoglobin S is due to a single amino acid substitution. In hemoglobin S, a glutamic acid is replaced by a valine at position 6 of the beta-globin chain. This change causes hemoglobin S to have a different charge, leading to its characteristic migration pattern on electrophoresis.

How does sickle cell hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?

Sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin due to a mutation in the gene that codes for the hemoglobin protein. This mutation leads to the production of an abnormal hemoglobin variant (HbS) that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, leading to various complications such as blockages in blood vessels and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues.
