A15-year old girl with cystic fibrosis is rushed to the hospital for an acute respiratory infection and suspected pneumonia. the admission chest x-ray showed extensive bronchiectasis and persistent complete atelectasis in the lower left lobe. despite aggressive therapy including iv antibiotics, the patient’s pulmonary function remained poor and level of consciousness was diminished with no verbal responses but eyes open to voice. sputum samples were collected via airway suctioning, arterial blood gasses were draw and ph was determined to be 7.32 (normal ph: 7.4). as a radical therapy for this patient an infusion of fetal hemoglobin is suggested to potentially increase oxygen perfusion. fetal hemoglobin (hbf) has different oxygen binding kinetics when compared to the oxygen binding displayed by adult hemoglobin (illustrated below). this difference is in part due to the inability of hbf to interact with 2,3 bisphosphoglycerate (2,3 bpg).based on this information would the use of hbf as a potential therapy in this patient be successful?

Diseases may arise when proteins fail to fold correctly in their last stages of processing and/or are directed towards the lysosome rather than towards the cell membrane. cystic fibrosis is an example of this type of disease. in cystic fibrosis, a functional ion channel is sent to the lysosome for destruction rather than being sent to the plasma membrane. given this observation, the cellular component that is most likely the cause of the disease is the
