The human hemoglobin is a tetrameric protein of about 64.5 KDa, consisting of two α-


chains and two β-chains tightly bound.


a) Calculate the number of amino acids present in the α-chains


b) What is the length of each β-chain?


c) What is the sum of the length of the two α-chains?


d) Find the length of the tetrameric protein hemoglobin assuming its all an alpha


helical structure.
