Perhaps the most well-known disease caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin protein is sickle-cell anemia. It results from a mutation of the sixth residue in the β hemoglobin monomer from <scene name='32/32/Hemoglobins_1hho/9'>glutamic acid to a valine</scene>. This hemoglobin variant is termed 'hemoglobin S' ([[2hbs]]). | Perhaps the most well-known disease caused by a mutation in the hemoglobin protein is sickle-cell anemia.
