A relevant portion of B-chain of haemoglobin of a normal human is given below:
The codon for the sixth amino acid is GAG. The sixth codon GAG mutates to GAA as a result of mutation 'A' and to GUG as a result of mutation 'B'. Haemoglobin structure did not change as a result of mutation 'A', whereas haemoglobin structure changed because of mutation 'B', leading to sickle-shaped RBCs. Explain giving reasons how could mutation 'B' change the haemoglobin structure or bring down mutation and not mutation 'A'.
