cwhich creplacement cfor cvaline cwould cbe cexpected cto chave cthe cbest cclinical
coutcome, cin ctheory, cfor cthe cpatient? c(Assume cthe cvaline ccan cpotentially cbe
creplaced cwith cany camino cacid cother cthan cglutamate.) c- ccorrect canswers✔✔The
coriginal camino cacid cin ca chealthy cpatient cis cglutamate, cwhich cis cnegatively
ccharged. cThe cmutated camino cacid cis cvaline, cwhich cis cnon-polar. cValine cis ccausing
csickle ccell canemia. cThe cbest camino cacid cto creplace cvaline cso cthat cthe cpatient cis
chealthy cagain cwould cbe cthe cone cmost clike cglutamate, cso cany cnegatively ccharged
camino cacid.
