title: Isolation and characterisation of myoglobin from the fresh water tortoise, Trionyx niloticus.
abstract: Myoglobin was isolated from the skeletal muscle of the water tortoise, Trionyx niloticus. The myoglobin is monomeric with an apparent molecular weight of 18,000 daltons as determined on Sephadex G-75 (with a non-denaturing eluant) and 18,547 from the amino acid composition. Spectrophotometric characteristics for a variety of ferrous and ferric derivatives have been determined.
