An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of ureaas the denaturing agent. b. An acidic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent. c.

An basic buffer to protonate the His axial ligand in the presence of mercatoethanol as the denaturing agent.

Use the following information to answer the following questions."The native structure of hemoglobin (HB) comprises of two α and two β subunits, each of which carries a heme group. There appear to be no previous studies that report the in-vitro folding and assembly of Hb from highly unfolded α and β globin in a 'one-pot' reaction. One difficulty that has to be overcome for studies of this kind is the tendency of Hb to aggregate during refolding. This work demonstrates that denaturation of Hb in 40% acetonitrile at pH 10.0 is reversible."

The steps involved in the T→ R transition in when oxygen binds to hemoglobin are outlined below. Place them in the correct order (1 = first thing to happen), assuming that it is the oxygen-binding that initiates the transition and that the process occurs in discrete steps. The proximal histidine is pulled by the heme iron. The F helix is pulled out of place, breaking a network of salt bridges. The iron is pulled into the plane of the protoporphyrin IX ring. Oxygen binds to the heme. < <

What keeps bound oxygen “bent", and not binding orthogonal to the plane of the porphyrin? D. What would happen to Fe(lI) if oxygen were to bind perpendicular (orthogonal) to the plane of the porphyrin? E. What happens to the structure of the porphyrin when oxygen dissociates from hemoglobin?
Hemoglobin molecules exposed to high levels of glucose areconverted to glycated products. The most common, referred to as hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), contains a b-chain glycatedadduct. Because red blood cells last about 3 months, HbA1Cconcentration is a useful measure of a patient’s blood sugarcontrol. In general terms, describe why and how HbA1Cforms.
