Amino-Acid Sequence of Gayal Hemoglobin(Bos gaurus frontalis,Bovidae)

Abstract
The amino-acid sequences of the .alpha.- and .beta.-chains of gayal Hb were determined and compared with those of bovine and yak Hb. The gayal .alpha.-chain differs from the .alpha.-chains of bovine Hb by 3 amino-acid residues and from yak I.alpha.- and II.alpha.-Hb by 4 and 2 residues, respectively. The gayal .beta.-chain differs from bovine .beta.A- and .beta.B-chains by 3 and 4 residues, respectively, and from yak .beta.-chains by 2 residues.
