Answer:

The isoelectric point of normal HbA is 6.9 [91], but HbS has two fewer negative charges per hemoglobin molecule than HbA because glutamic acid residues in the β-chains of HbS were substituted by the valine residues [5], [6]. It shows that HbS has more hydrophobicity than HbA in this condition [10]
