Sickle cell anemia is caused by a point mutation in hemoglobin, where a glutamate residue is changed to a valine. Based on this mutation mechanism, what level of protein structure is affected by sickle cell anemia?
Sickle cell anemia results from a missense mutation that replaces a glutamic acid residue with which of the following?
A protein's primary structure is determined by which of the following?
