Amino Acid Sequence of the Hemoglobin of Raccoon (Procyon lotor)

Abstract
The amino acid sequences-of the hemoqlobin α;- and β;-chains of raccoon have been determined by a combination of manual and automatic sequencing procedures. The raccoon β;-chain shows 16 amino acid differences from that of dog. The α;-chain shows 10 differences. These values are identical with those predicted by analogy from their tryptic peptide compositions.
