In some individuals, a mutation may change the beta chains in their haemoglobin molecules. Consequently, polar amino acids on the outer surfaces of the chains are replaced by non-polar amino acids. What effect will this have on haemoglobin?
- AHaemoglobin will become less soluble.
- BHaemoglobin will become more soluble.
- CHydrophobic interactions between amino acids will decrease.
- DMore hydrogen bonds will form in the molecule.
