thank you so much for your help!

ohh ok...i see. The mutation in the hemoglobin beta gene is substituted with a valine, which is a hydrophobic residue. The molecules of hemoglobin residue which clump together forming a sickle shaped cell.

doesn't the changes in the secondary and tertiary structure affect the quaternary structure?

Hi, Thanks for the info... see I found information on the primary structure - so i figured it the primary structure changes that must mean the secondary and tertiary structure changes too. Am I wrong with this thinking?

In sickle-cell anemia, does the mutation to a valine cause a change in the secondary or tertiary structure of the protein?
