The myoglobin of primates. VII. Perodicticus potto edwarsi (potto).
The primary structure of the myoglobin of the prosimian Lorisidae Perodictius potto edwarsi (potto) was studied. Tryptic, chymotryptic, peptic, subtilisin and thermolysin peptides were aligned against the sequence of human myoglobin. Sixteen differences were found which were confirmed by sequential analysis. On comparison of the West African potto with two other prosimian myoglobins known so far, there were 12 differences between the potto and the galago (East African) and 18 differences between the potto and the sportive lemur (Madagascar).
