Glycation of haemoglobin occurs, without intervention from an enzyme, at the N-terminus of the beta subunit - represented by 2 in the following reaction scheme. The reaction occurs via an Amadori rearrangement, as shown below. OH H₂N-R HO R OH OH HN но. 2 OH но. HO HO OH OH 1 OH OH 3 OH NHR 4 a) Propose a mechanism for the union of 1 and 2 to form 3. 131 b) Propose a mechanism for the conversion of 3 into glycated haemoglobin 4. 131
