title: [Amino acid sequence of Ondatra myoglobin (Ondatra zibethica). Characteristic features of myoglobins from semiaquatic animals].
abstract: Based on the amino acid composition of globin, amino acid analysis and N-terminal sequencing of peptides as well as a comparative analysis of the primary structure of beaver, coypu rat and otter myoglobins with the use of the fingerprinting technique, the amino acid sequence of the major component of ondatra myoglobin including 153 amino acid residues was reconstructed. The results of a comparative analysis of the primary structure of myoglobin and the peculiarities of the functional morphology of myoglobins from semi-aquatic animals and sperm whale and the role of amino acid substitutions in the spatial structure of ondatra myoglobin are discussed.
