Q

The number of amino acids in the beta chains in figure 2 is 3.546% greater than in the alpha chains. Each alpha chain contains 141 amino acids

Calculate how many amino acids that there are in total in the haemoglobin molecule shown in figure 2. Give your answer to the nearest whole number

A

141/100 =141 X 3.546 = 5
141 + 5 = 146
146 + 146 + 141 + 141 = 574
