What disease arises from an amino acid change in the protein hemoglobin?
Sickle Cell disease A disease that involves misshaped cells that can easily cause blood clots.
What is the normal Hemoglobin level in Sickle Cell disease?
8
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.
What protein does does sickle-cell anemia affect?
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells.
What diseases arises from an amino acid change in protein hemoglobin?
sickle cell disease

What is a disease caused by misshapen proteins?
Sickle cell anaemia is such a genetic disease. The sixth amino acid in the beta chain of haeme which is glutamic acid in normal people gets replaced by valine in sickle cell anaemia patients. This simple change in the amino acid sequence results in the the sickle shape of RBCs
Explain the defect in the protein of Sickle-cell disease?
The defect is that hemoglobin (the protein) elongates. Instead of being circular, it acquires a crescent shape. With this shape, its harder for it to absorb and release oxygen. Also, when the blood cell reaches the capillaries, it can't fit through as well as normal blood cells can, which is why Sickle-Cell is painful.
How many people does sickle cell disease affect?
million people have sickle cell world wide i think
