The doctor also mentioned a new treatment for Sickle Cell Disease to JJ called Voxelotor (Oxbryta). Voxelotor binds to the a-globin chain and alters the structure of HbS stabilizing it in the R-state (relaxed state). Q7: In the presence of Voxelotor would you expect the affinity of HbS for O2 to increase or decrease? Q8: How would you classify the mechanism of action for Voxelotor?
