Haemocyanin of some Oniscidea.
In the haemolymph of Oniscidea haemocyanin exists mainly in the form of hexamer 16S (90%); the 5S and 24S components are present in small amounts. Alkaline dissociation of the examined 16S haemocyanins is dependent on pH and divalent cations (Ca2+,Mg2+). The 16S component consists of 23-24.5% acidic amino acids, 15-18% basic amino acids and small quantities of tryptophan and cysteine.
