Document Summary

This device, whose function is to measure the percentage of hemoglobin in the blood or anemia, was produced by acon international. The device requires a small amount of blood and did not require high experience like other devices in order to give more accurate results. This device includes a memory that records more than 1000 results. The mission plus device works with normal batteries, and you do not have to charge it. This device is also used for the examination of pregnant women to ensure the health of the mother as well as the fetus. This device is suitable for all age groups, especially newborns, due to its use of a very small point of blood from the child"s feet. This device can be used at home, pharmacies, blood centers, nurseries, and clinics.

Question 2

a.) Describe the structure and function of haemoglobin (Hb). You should include a description of both tertiary and quaternary structures of the protein and the location and function of non-protein components.

b.) List the sequence of intra-molecular movements that results in the conformational change of haemoglobin when it binds oxygen.

c.) Explain why binding affinity of carbon monoxide (CO) to haem (heme) is reduced when haem is incorporated into myoglobin or haemoglobin.

A parental mystery: Mr. and Mrs. Smith have just arrived home with their new baby. As soon as they walk in the door, they get a call from the hospital maternity ward. The nurse who discharged the Smiths is calling to say he is now worried that she sent the wrong baby home with them. They return to the hospital for a battery of blood tests to clear up the confusion. The results are found in the table below:

Individual	ABO Blood Type	MN Blood Type	Hemoglobin Type (Hânormal; hâmutant hemoglobin, sickle cell)
Mr. Smith	Type A	MM	Hh
Mrs. Smith	Type B	MN	HH
Baby Emma	Type O	NN	Hh

Help them interpret the results of the blood test. Could baby Emma be their daughter? Why or why not?

Both the blood-type systems are examples of codominance, and sickle-cell anemia (hemoglobin type) is an example of an autosomal recessive trait that also exhibits codominance. Help them interpret the results of the blood test. Could baby Emma be their daughter? Why or why not?

16. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disorder resulting in an alternation of the structure and function of hemoglobin. Specifically, the amino acid valine replaces glutamate in a position located in the surface of the protein. Based on your knowledge of protein sequence answer the following:

a. At what level of protein structure does the amino acid substitution occur? Explain?

b. Provide a biochemical rationale for why this change in the sequence of hemoglobinâs beta chain results in red blood cells sickling. Your answer should include reference to structures of valine and glutamine shown above.
