Various thalassemias arise when the synthesis of one component or another of this protein is inhibited, and two embryonic forms of this protein are named for Gower.
The polymerization energy of one form of this protein is given in an assay using concentrated dextran, which decreases its solubility via crowding effects. One disease related to this protein can be detected by mixing the mutated form of this protein in a sodium dithionite solution, is treated with hydroxyurea, and involves a glutamate to valine mutation. Hydrops fetalis sees the formation of a form of this protein named for St. Bartholemew's Hospital. Various thalassemias arise when the synthesis of one component or another of this protein is inhibited, and two embryonic forms of this protein are named for Gower. Part of this protein's name comes from a fold of eight alpha helices common to each of its four subunits; the other part of this protein's name comes from the group with which that fold associates, a porphyrin ring surrounding an iron atom. For 10 points, name this protein that transports oxygen in the blood.
