title: Primary structure of hemoglobin from gray partridge (Francolinus pondacerianus, Galliformes).
abstract: The complete amino acid sequence of the alpha A-chain of major hemoglobin component from gray partridge Francolinus pondacerianus is presented. The major component HbA accounts for 75% of the total hemolysate. Separation of the globin subunits was achieved by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Cellulose in 8 M urea. The sequence was studied by automatic Edman degradation of the native chain and its tryptic peptides in a gas-phase sequencer. The phylogenetic relationship of Galliformes with other avian orders is discussed.
