Methemoglobinemia is type of disease caused due to methemoglobin. Methemoglobin is type of hemoglobin in which the iron heme3+ is present instead of fe2+. Normally methemoglobin is present in every living cell, but if it is present in large amount then it will responsible for causing disease. Acquired methemoglobinemia known as acute methemoglobinemia caused by exposure of medicines, chemicals, foods. People suffering from genetic form have higher chances of developing acquired type. Most cases of acquired methemoglobinemia result from exposure to certain drugs or toxins. In the present study we have used different Insilico tools and techniques which are includes retrieval of NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase 3protein sequence from the UniProt KB database and physicochemical parameter analyzed by using Protoparam tool. In that Leucine had a maximum amino acid composition. The structure of a protein has a very important role in its function. The secondary structure was predicted by using SOPMA tool which indicated that the percentage of Random coils was higher than the percentage of alpha helix and extended strand. Then the 3D structure of b5 reductase 3 was predicted by using SWISS MODEL server and the model was validated by using PROCHECK analysis after validation of the model, the validation score was 94.7%.

Hereditary methemoglobinemia is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by NADH-cytochrome b5 reductase (b5R) deficiency. In an attempt to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in the enzyme deficiency, we isolated the b5R gene from a patient homozygous for hereditary methemoglobinemia, generalized type, and compared its nucleotide sequence with that of the normal NADH-cytochrome b5R gene. Only one difference was observed; a thymidine at the first position of codon 127 (TCT) was altered to a cytidine in the b5R gene of the patient, resulting in replacement of serine with proline. Dot blot hybridization of the amplified DNA samples with allele-specific oligonucleotide probes showed that the proband and her brothers were homozygous for this mutation and that their father was heterozygous. Although the activity of b5R in lymphoblastoid cells from homozygotes was reduced to 10% of the normal level, RNA blot and protein blot analyses of the lymphoblastoid cells showed that synthesis of b5R messenger RNA and the b5R polypeptide were normal. Serine at residue 127 is presumed to be in an alpha-helix structure that is part of a nucleotide-binding domain. These observations suggest that replacement of Pro-127 causes a significant conformation change in the nucleotide- binding domain that affects electron transport from NADH to cytochrome b5. Functional enzyme deficiency results in a generalized type of hereditary methemoglobinemia.
