• B) a relatively high pKa (i.e. stronger base) for histidyl residues because of their proximity to arginyl residues in deoxyhemoglobin.
• C) a relatively high pKa for histidyl residues because of their proximity to ionized aspartyl residues in deoxyhemoglobin.
• D) a relatively low pKa for histidyl residues because of their proximity to arginyl residues in deoxyhemoglobin.

Definitions:

Frameshift Mutations

Genetic mutations caused by insertions or deletions of a number of nucleotides in a DNA sequence that is not divisible by three, leading to a disruption of the reading frame during protein synthesis.

Base Pairs

Pairs of nucleotides that form the building blocks of the DNA double helix, with adenine pairing with thymine, and cytosine pairing with guanine.

Insertion

The attachment site of a muscle tendon to the bone that moves when the muscle contracts.

Reverse Transcriptase

An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of DNA from an RNA template, used by retroviruses in their replication process.
