[Amino acid sequence of Ondatra myoglobin (Ondatra zibethica). Characteristic features of myoglobins from semiaquatic animals]. 1989

B F Sukhomlinov, and V A Vasil'eva

Based on the amino acid composition of globin, amino acid analysis and N-terminal sequencing of peptides as well as a comparative analysis of the primary structure of beaver, coypu rat and otter myoglobins with the use of the fingerprinting technique, the amino acid sequence of the major component of ondatra myoglobin including 153 amino acid residues was reconstructed. The results of a comparative analysis of the primary structure of myoglobin and the peculiarities of the functional morphology of myoglobins from semi-aquatic animals and sperm whale and the role of amino acid substitutions in the spatial structure of ondatra myoglobin are discussed.

D009211	Myoglobin	A conjugated protein which is the oxygen-transporting pigment of muscle. It is made up of one globin polypeptide chain and one heme group.
D010449	Peptide Mapping	Analysis of PEPTIDES that are generated from the digestion or fragmentation of a protein or mixture of PROTEINS, by ELECTROPHORESIS; CHROMATOGRAPHY; or MASS SPECTROMETRY. The resulting peptide fingerprints are analyzed for a variety of purposes including the identification of the proteins in a sample, GENETIC POLYMORPHISMS, patterns of gene expression, and patterns diagnostic for diseases.
