Abstract
The blood of the Electric Eel contains only one hemoglobin component. The primary structures of the .alpha.- and .beta.-chains are presented. These were separated by high-performance liquid chromatogrpahy, using a new kind of buffer system. The .alpha.-chains are acetylated, and consist of 142 residues, while the .beta.-chains are not blocked, and consist of 147 residues. The phylogenetic distances between these and the .alpha.- and .beta.-chains of human hemoglobin are 48 and 50% amino-acid exchanges, respectively. The relationship between primary structure and the Bohr effect and Root effect is discussed, especially the significance of the serine found in position F9.beta.This publication has 22 references indexed in Scilit:
