What protein is not normal in people with sickle- cell disease?
Hemoglobin
What protein is not normal in people with sickle-cell disease?
It is Hemoglobin
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 happens to the instructions when the genes are changed or mutated Provide an example of hemoglobin gene mutation?
If our hemoglobin gene is normal, the hemoglobin protein works fine. But if the instuctions in that gene are changed, or "mutated,"changes in the hemoglobin protein could result. One such mutation causes a disorder called sickle cell anemia.
A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin is called?
normochromic
What is a change in the normal confirmation of a protein that often results in loss of protein function called?
That protein is called denatured.
A red blood cell that contains normal amounts of hemoglobin would be called?
NORMOCHRONIC
What is a the normal hemoglobin level for a baby?
For an infant, normal hemoglobin is 14-22 g/dL
How hemoglobin affects red blood cells?
Hemoglobin is a metalloprotein, which is a generic term for a protein that contains a metal iron cofactor. (A cofactor in biochemistry terms is a non-protein chemical compound that is bound to a protein and is vital for the protein's biological activity.)
What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
What are hemoglobinopathies?
There are two categories of hemoglobinopathy. In the first category, abnormal globin chains give rise to abnormal hemoglobin molecules. In the second category, normal hemoglobin chains are produced but in abnormal amounts.
What does it mean when you have 6.4 hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin is that protein in the red blood cells that carries oxygen. A normal range of values in a female is: 12.1 - 15.1 gm/dl; in a male, it is 13.8 - 17.2 gm/dl. So, if one has a hemoglobin of 6.4, this is an abnormal value and should be evaluated by a physician ASAP.
