The covalent structure of dog myoglobin.
The primary structure of the myoglobin of the domestic dog (German shepherd) was studied. Tryptic and thermolytic peptides were compared with the sequence of other known myoglobins; the stepwise automatic Edman's degradation of the whole globin and also the chymotryptic digestion of the median fragment obtained by CNBr cleavage completed this sequence. Comparison of the established dog myoglobin structure with those from other carnivora shows 16 differences versus badger, 20 versus harbour seal and 15 versus California sea lion.
