Sickle Cell, Biology

Assignment Help:
Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S, but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small hydrophobic \"pocket\" in a ß chain region located in the interior of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin, however, this pocket is located on the surface of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin S, Val 6 interacts with this surface pocket leading to aggregation of HbS. Choose two amino acids that would be reasonable candidates for the pocket-Val 6 interaction.
