Summary
Red deer myoglobin has been fragmented by restricted tryptic digestion and by treatment with cyanogen bromide. The fragments have been separated by gel permeation. The core peptide derived from cyanogen bromide cleavage has been further digested with trypsin and the resulting peptides have been separated on Dowex 1×2. All fragments have been characterized by their amino acid composition, by determination of their N-terminal sequence using automatic Edman degradation and of their C-terminal sequence following the kinetics of amino acid cleavage by carboxypeptidases A and B.
The complete sequence has been found to be identical with the already known sequence of sheep myoglobin except for residue 145 which is Gln in red deer globin and Glu in sheep globin. Reinvestigation of the corresponding sequence in sheep globin has shown that residue 145 of sheep globin is also Gln.
