The amino acid sequence of human myoglobin and its minor fractions
The complete amino acid sequence of human skeletal myoglobin is described. That of heart myoglobin is found by homology to be the same. When myoglobin is prepared some minor fractions may be obtained besides the main component. They are shown to be artefacts arising from deamidations. The likely thr...
