The amino acid sequence of the alpha chain of badger (Meles meles) haemoglobin.
The complete amino acid sequence of the alpha chain from the badger (Meles meles) haemoglobin was elucidated using conventional methods chiefly performed on tryptic peptides separated by peptide "mapping" and comparison with human alpha chain. Sixteen differences were noted between the alpha chain of badger and man. Phylogenetic aspects and three-dimensional structure requirements are discussed.
