There are almost 500 naturally occurring variants of hemoglobin. most are the result of a single amino acid substitution in a globin polypeptide chain. some variants produce clinical illness, though not all variants have deleterious effects. a brief sample follows.
hbs (sickle-cell hb): substitutes a val for a glu on the surface
hb cowtown: eliminates ion pairs at n and c terminus of subunits
hb memphis: substitutes one uncharged polar residue for another of similar size on the surface hb bibba: substitutes a pro for a leu involved in an a helix
hb milwaukee: substitutes a glu for a val
hb providence: substitutes an asn for a lys that normally projects into the central cavity of the tetramer hb philly: substitutes a phe for a tyr, disrupting hydrogen bonding at the a1b1 interface
identify and explain your choices for each of the following:
(a) the hb variant that functions similar to mb.
(b) the variant(s) most likely to show a larger kd for bpg

You have just sequenced a new protein found in mice and observe that sulfur-containing cysteine residues occur at regular intervals. what is the significance of this finding? it will be important to include cysteine in the diet of the mice. cysteine residues are required for the formation of α helices and β pleated sheets. cysteine residues are involved in disulfide bridges that form tertiary structure. cysteine causes bends, or angles, to occur in the tertiary structure of proteins.
