title: The amino acid sequence of the beta chain of hemerythrin from Lingula unguis.
abstract: The amino acid sequence of the beta chain of hemerythrin from Lingula unguis was determined. The sequence consists of 117 amino acid residues. The sequence shares 25 amino acid residues in common with other known hemerythrin sequences, including myohemerythrin, with which it shares an insertion of 5 amino acids. This is the first complete sequence from a heteropolymeric hemerythrin.
