You are examining the effects of a mutation in the proximal histidine of a heme-containing protein. This mutation has changed the histidine into an alanine. Based on your knowledge of the role of heme in hemoglobin and how it is coordinated in the protein, what is the MOST likely effect of the mutation? Group of answer choices The heme will bind to O2 more effectively than to CO Heme will no longer be bound in the protein The iron in heme will be fully coordinated The iron in heme will have two uncoordinated bonds There will be no effect on heme binding due to this mutation

What will be the effect of the following changes to the protein structure of hemoglobin and its function? A. Replacement of the proximal histidine residue at the 8thposition of the F helix by asparagine. B. A phenylalanine to proline mutation resulting in decreased cooperativity of the polypeptide chains. C. Replacement of a nonpolar amino acid in the interior of the protein to a hydrophilic amino acid.
A red heme-containing protein called leghemoglobin is found in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants. The protein component is produced by the plant, whereas bacterial cells produce the precursor of heme. Can you deduce the function of leghemoglobin? [Hint: Leghemoglobin is a member of the globin superfamily.]
Which of the following statements is false concerning the structure of hemoglobin? a. The binding of BPG stabilizes the T-state of Hb b. The R-state of Hb is favored under environments of high concentrations of O2 c. Hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen increases as protons ionize from the N-terminal tails d. Hemoglobin is stabilized in the low affinity state in the presence of high concentration of protons e. Hemoglobin favors the R-state in basic environments
The amino acid in Hemoglobin that is most found to be most sensitive to pH changes, and hence affects Oxygen binding process around pH 7 is Valine Tyrosine Histidine Aspartic Acid
The distal histidine stabilises the iron in heme group of a deoxyhaemoglobin. T/F
A person was found to have very low levels of functional beta globin mRNA and therefore very low levels of the beta globin protein. What problems would this cause for assembling functional haemoglobin molecules?
Mutations in the ribosomal protein gene RPS19 have been found to be associated with Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA), a rare syndrome that disrupts erythropoiesis, the process by which new red blood cells are produced. Which of the following provides the most likely explanation for the connection between a mutation in RPS19 and a disruption in erythropoiesis? A B с D The ribosomes in the cell are unable to package and transfer the components that are required for erythropoiesis. The ribosomes in the cell are unable to facilitate the movement of nutrients that are re- quired for erythropoiesis across the cell membrane. The ribosomes in the cell are unable to correctly synthesize the proteins that are re- sponsible for erythropoiesis. The ribosomes in the cell are unable to effectively produce the ATP that is required for erythropoiesis.
Think about our previous lecture, we discussed red blood cell’s (RBC) shunt that takes place during glycolysis. You know that the main function of RBCs is to carry O2 from lungs to tissues. Please kindly discuss this function at the molecular level (at the level of hemoglobin structure α & β chains) taking in consideration 2, 3-BPG.
I now know the structure difference between myoglobin and hemoglobin , however which exctaly structure difference make myglobin become a oxygen storage ? and not a oxygen transport?? Be specific! details describe how the structure connect to their role. also which exctaly structure difference make hemoglobin become better oxygen transport?? I need the specific structure that contribute to their unique role. I KNOW THE STRUCTURE DIFFERENCE , but don't understand which specific part make myoglobin only bind to oxygen, and not release oxygen
The following observations are made on an unknownmembrane protein, X. It can be extracted from disrupted erythrocyte membranes into aconcentrated salt solution, and it can be cleaved into fragments by proteolytic enzymes. Treatment of erythrocytes with proteolytic enzymes followed by disruption and extraction of membrane components yields intact X. However, treatment of erythrocyte “ghosts” (which consist of just plasma membranes, produced by disrupting the cells and washing outthe hemoglobin) with proteolytic enzymes, followed by disruption and extraction, yields extensively fragmented X. What do these observations indicate about the location of X in the plasma membrane? Do the properties of X resemble those of an integral or peripheral membrane protein?
The primary and tertiary structures of hemoglobin and myoglobin are very similar and both contain the 'heme' group as an oxygen-binding prosthetic group. However this There are important functional differences between the two proteins. Hemoglobin oxygen transport protein, myoglobin functions as oxygen storage protein. Hemoglobin and consider the structural differences and oxygen binding curves between myoglobin why myoglobin is a good oxygen transport protein, while hemoglobin Explain why it cannot be a good oxygen storage protein.
