The amino acid sequence of the amino-terminal cyanogen bromide fragment of Tachypleus tridentatus hemocyanin α chain

Abstract

The complete amino acid sequence of 87 residues has been determined for the N-terminal CNBr fragment of Tachypleus tridentatus hemocyanin α chain. It is rich in histidine and contains one free cysteine. The N-terminal sequence of 20 residues shows homologies with other arthropod hemocyanins.
