Pa. Jekel et al., PRIMARY STRUCTURE OF HEMOCYANIN FROM PALINURUS-VULGARIS, Comparative biochemistry and physiology. B. Comparative biochemistry, 115(2), 1996, pp. 243-246
The primary structure of hemocyanin from the spiny lobster Palinurus v
ulgaris was determined using a mixture of at least four slightly diffe
rent subunits. Heterogeneities were observed in 32 (5%) of the positio
ns. The amino acid sequence differs at about 20% of the positions from
that of subunit a of Panulirus interruptus hemocyanin.
