Sickling occurs in deoxyhemoglobin S but not in oxyhemoglobin S. Oxyhemoglobin has a small, hydrophobic pocket in a β chain regi

on located in the interior of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin, however, this pocket is located on the surface of the protein. In deoxyhemoglobin S, Val 6 interacts with this surface pocket, leading to aggregation of HbS. Choose two amino acids that would be reasonable canidates for the pocket-Val 6 interaction.
(A) phenylalanine
(B) leucine
(C) serine
(D) arginine
(E) glutamate
