Individuals diagnosed with sickle-cell anemia have abnormal function of the gene that encodes for subunit B‚ which is a protein that serves as part of the hemoglobin A (HbA). The HbA is responsible for oxygen binding through the blood stream. Indeed‚ the abnormal polymerization of hemoglobin occurs in homozygous individuals with sickle-cell anemia‚ which lowers the oxygen supply of red blood cells. To lower the negative consequences of sickle-cell anemia‚ it is necessary to provide a better understanding

Sickle Cell Anemia‚ also known as Sickle Cell Disease‚ is a disease that causes the production of abnormal hemoglobin. The red blood cells (RBCs) carry oxygen to organs and tissues. Hemoglobin‚ a molecule in the RBCs‚ is a protein that attaches to the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to all parts of the body. Hemoglobin takes on the oxygen‚ and releases carbon dioxide‚ a process known as oxygenation. In the tissues‚ deoxygenation occurs where the processes is reversed‚ when hemoglobin releases
