What is the difference between normal and sickle cell hemoglobin?
loss of only one amino acid from the normal hemoglobin molecule
What diseases arises from an amino acid change in protein hemoglobin?
sickle cell disease
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 is the difference between normal and sickle-cell hemoglobin based on?
terminal amino acid of the beta chain
Is Sickle-cell disease an example of an inherited mistake in the amino acid sequence?
Yes, sickle-cell disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the hemoglobin gene, resulting in an error in the amino acid sequence of the hemoglobin protein. This mistake leads to the production of abnormal hemoglobin that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, leading to various health problems.
What common genetic variation which causes a change in the amino acid sequence in the structure of hemoglobin leads to what disease?
Sickle cell
How does sickle cell hemoglobin differ from normal hemoglobin?
Sickle cell hemoglobin differs from normal hemoglobin due to a mutation in the gene that codes for the hemoglobin protein. This mutation leads to the production of an abnormal hemoglobin variant (HbS) that causes red blood cells to become sickle-shaped, leading to various complications such as blockages in blood vessels and reduced oxygen delivery to tissues.
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.
An example of mutation?
The substitution of one triplet code in the DNA that codes for an mRNA that codes for an amino acid that makes up a protein. Sickle cell trait is an example of this. One amino acid substitution in a B chain of hemoglobin and you have an allele that will code for sickle cell trait.
Sickle-cell anemia is a condition that results from achange of one amino acid in the protein hemoglobin why is this condition a genetic disorder?
prickle prums
Is hemoglobin an amino acid?
no
