{Biochemistry}
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease resulting from a single amino acid substitution (glutamate
to valine in the sixth position, or E6V) in the hemoglobin chain. This mutation causes
hemoglobin to polymerize into strands in the deoxygenated state, leading to the erythrocytes
forming a sickled shape. Explain why the mutation leads to the polymerization of hemoglobin
and why this only happens in the deoxygenated state.
