title: The amino acid sequence of the major parvalbumin of the whiting (Gadus merlangus).
abstract: 1. The amino acid sequence of the major parvalbumin of the Whiting has been determined; the polypeptide chain is made of 108 residues, the terminal amino acid group is acetylated, there is no disulfide bridges, the structure of the two calcium binding sites is preserved and the distribution along the polypeptide chain of the hydrophobic residues implicated in the compact hydrophobic core of the protein is also maintained. 2. The comparison of this amino acid sequence with other parvalbumins indicates that it belongs to the beta type and that within the Gadidae family two types of parvalbumins also occur.
