Which element is a major component of hemoglobin?
Haemoglobin is made up of a protein called globin which is bound to a red pigment called heme (hence the name haemoglobin) Globin is made up of 4 chains (polypeptide chains) embedded inside each of which is a heme molecule, the latter has an iron atom (in ferrous state) in it. It is the iron atom which carries a molecule of oxygen. As there are 4 chains this means that there are 4 iron atoms which means that 4 molecules of oxygen can be carried by each haemoglobin. Globulin
Hemoglobin is made up of the protein heme and the red pigment globin?
false
The polypeptide chain of hemoglobin that is designated beta and that when deficient or defective causes various anemias?
Beta-Globin
Does oxytocin have a secondary structure or tertiary protein structure?
Yes it does. It also commonly contains quaternary structure.Secondary structure refers to folding and bonding interactions between atoms of the polypeptide backbone, either forming alpha-helices or Beta-sheets. Oxytocin contains both of these secondary structures as well as Beta-turns. Beta-sheets come in anti-parallel and parallel versions. Parallel means that the direction of the associated chains run in the same direction; N-terminus to C-terminus. Anti-parallel means that one or more of the associated chains run in an opposite direction to the others.Tertiary structure refers to interactions between side chains of the polypeptide residues. a good example of this is the disulfide bonds liking two cysteine residues which does occur in Oxytocin.Quaternary structure refers to association of separate polypeptide chains. Oxytocin can be found as a single chain in which case there is no quaternary structure. It is not uncommon however to find it as a pentamer, tetramer, or dimer. Conditions play a major factor in effecting its quaternary structure. whether it is in aqueous solution, biological conditions (cells), or crystallized. Another good example of quaternary structure is Hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a dimer of dimers. 2 alpha-globin chains and 2 beta-globin chains.
Where is the beta globin gene?
The beta globin gene is located on chromosome 11
Does the hemoglobin molecule has polypeptide chains?
Yes. Hemoglobin consists of four heme groups as well as a globin. Globin is a type of protein - proteins are made of polypeptide chains.
Two alpha chains and two gamma chains make up the protein globin part of?
hemoglobin F
What substance is needed for hemoglobin synthesis?
Hemoglobin is the protein that, along with water, makes up a red blood cell. Hemoglobin is made from two substances, heme and globin. In order for hemoglobin synthesis to take place, two chains of globin must connect to one another. Without these chains, hemoglobin synthesis cannot happen.
How many globin molecules are in each hemoglobin?
There are four nearly-identical individual protein chains in hemoglobin.
How is hemoglobin constructed?
Normal adult hemoglobin has a pair each of alpha-globin and beta-globin molecules
Is heme and hemoglobin the same?
Heme + globin is Hemoglobin.
Which is The protein part of hemoglobin?
globin
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 happens to the globin portion of the hemoglobin?
Nothing
What is Fetal hemoglobin?
Fetal hemoglobin has a pair of gamma-globin molecules in place of the typical beta-globins of adult hemoglobin
What is Hemoglobin S?
Hemoglobin produced in association with the sickle cell trait; the beta-globin molecules of hemoglobin S are defective.
