Max Perutz showed that this molecule is formed of four polypeptide chains that rearrange during its most important function.
Max Perutz showed that this molecule is formed of four polypeptide chains that rearrange during its most important function. The recessive disease Thalassemia results in a defective version of the alpha or beta version of this molecule. The Bohr effect deals with the results of CO-2 levels on this protein, and a point mutation from glutamate to valine on this protein's beta chain causes sickle cell anemia. For 10 points, name this oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells.
