N terminal amino acid sequences of the α and β chains of the two chicken hemoglobin components

Amino acid sequences corresponding approximately to the N terminal third of the α and β chains of the minor chicken hemoglobin component (P1) were determined. When each subunit is compared to the corresponding chain belonging to the major chicken hemoglobinic component (P2),a high number of amino acid substitutions can be observed between both chicken α chains while no difference can be noticed between the 2 β subunits.SCOPUS: ar.j
