What is the relation of amino acid to sickle cell hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is a protein, which is composed of linked amino acids.
What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
What is differ ence between the amino acid sequences of the hemoglobin in humans and the hemoglobin in frogs?
There are 9 differences
How does human hemoglobin compare with horse's?
17 amino acid differences
In which hereditary disease does abnormal hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin by only a single amino acid?
Sickle-cell anemia
In sickle cell what amino acid is changed?
Glutamate is substituted for a valine at position 6. But this is not an amino acid problem, it's the construction of hemoglobin that's in error.
What diseases arises from an amino acid change in protein hemoglobin?
sickle cell disease
What is the difference between normal and sickle-cell hemoglobin based on?
terminal amino acid of the beta chain
How many amino acid differences would you expect to find between the hemoglobin of a human and a wolf?
There are no differences in the amino acids in human hemoglobin and wolf hemoglobin.
How does sickel hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?
6th amino acid is changed in haemoglobin chain due to a recessive mutation on beta haemoglobin producing gene
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 causes sickle cell allele?
A mutation in one amino acid of one of the subunits making up hemoglobin.
