HAEM - PROTEINS

Question 1

Electrophoresis

Answer 1

Analysing molecules by measuring their migration in an electric field ; cellulose acetate + buffer solution which means haemoglobin molecules are negatively charged

Question 2

Sickle cell haemoglobin

Answer 2

HbS

Question 3

Normal haemoglobin

Answer 3

HbA

Question 4

Spectrophotometry

Answer 4

Analysing molecules on the basis of their spectral properties ; measuring the absorbance of a haemoglobin solution over a range of wavelengths
