    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-thalassemia

    Hemoglobin is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transportation of oxygen in red blood cells. [15] Hemoglobin in the blood carries oxygen from the lungs to the other tissues of the body, where it releases the oxygen to enable metabolism. A healthy level of hemoglobin for men is between 13.2 and 16.6 grams per deciliter, and in women ...

  5. Sickle cell disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sickle_cell_disease

    Hemoglobin is extracted from the red cells, then introduced into a porous gel and subjected to an electrical field. This separates the normal and abnormal types of hemoglobin which can then be identified and quantified. [84] Isoelectric focusing (IEF) is a technique that can be used to diagnose sickle cell disease and other hemoglobinopathies.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein

    The first protein structures to be solved were hemoglobin by Max Perutz and myoglobin by John Kendrew, in 1958. [26] [27] The use of computers and increasing computing power has supported the sequencing of complex proteins. In 1999, Roger Kornberg sequenced the highly complex structure of RNA polymerase using high intensity X-rays from ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_genetics

    Classical genetics is the branch of genetics based solely on visible results of reproductive acts. It is the oldest discipline in the field of genetics, going back to the experiments on Mendelian inheritance by Gregor Mendel who made it possible to identify the basic mechanisms of heredity.
