In class, we discussed how H146 of the β -chain ofnormal adult hemoglobin ends up in close proximity toD94 on the same chain when oxygen is delivered to thetissues. In hemoglobin Hiroshima, however, H146on the β -chain has been changed to a D through mutation. Whateffect, if any, does this mutation have on the Bohr Effect of thismutant hemoglobin?
