The difference is that a patient with sickle cell disease has an increased level of one specific type of Hemoglobin, that is Fetal hemoglobin or HbF. However, the amount of total hemoglobin is the same.

What are the pros for SICKLE CELL ANEMIA?
The pro of sickle cell hemoglobin is that if you have only one allele for sickle cell hemoglobin and the other allele is normal, then you are immune to malaria.
What protein is not normal in people with sickle-cell disease?
It is Hemoglobin
What protein is not normal in people with sickle- cell disease?
Hemoglobin
What is the normal Hemoglobin level in Sickle Cell disease?

How is sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin?

Why does sickle cell hemoglobin migrate slower than normal hemoglobin during electrophoresis?
because of the change of AA- in normal cell- from Glutamic acid (negativity charged) to Valine (uncharged) -in sickle cell- the charge will be missing in the sickle cell that why the electrophoresis will become slower because of the missing charge
How does disease affect the cell?
Sickle cell disease is a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, which causes the hemoglobin and the cell to become elongated and look like a sickle rather than its normal disc shape.
Why does sickle cell hemoglobin migrate slower than normal hemoglobin during gel electrophoresis?
because of the change of AA- in normal cell- from Glutamic acid (negativity charged) to Valine (uncharged) -in sickle cell- the charge will be missing in the sickle cell that why the electrophoresis will become slower because of the missing charge
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.
In which hereditary disease does abnormal hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin by only a single amino acid?
Sickle-cell anemia
What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
Is the mutation for hemoglobin S harmful or beneficial?
Hemoglobin S. This the predominant hemoglobin in people with sickle cell disease. The alpha chain is normal. The disease-producing mutation exists in the beta chain, giving the molecule the structure, a2bS2. People who have one sickle mutant gene and one normal beta gene have sickle cell trait which is benign.
