Sickle Cell Anemia Hemoglobin Discovery
The specific finding that sickle cell anemia is caused by an abnormal hemoglobin molecule was attributed to Pauling and his colleagues.
Their research established a direct link between a genetic disease and a molecular abnormality (specifically, an altered protein), marking a significant advancement in understanding inherited conditions at the molecular level.
