title: Amino-acid sequence of an alpha-parvalbumin, pI = 4.88, from frog skeletal muscle.
abstract: The primary structure of the most basic (pI = 4.88) of the two major parvalbumins from frog skeletal muscle (Rana esculenta) has been determined by partial automatic sequencing of the protein which exhibits a free N terminus, and a study of overlapping peptides obtained by cyanogen bromide cleavage and digestion with trypsin, thermolysin and Armillaria mellea protease. This protein shows the typical structure of an alpha-parvalbumin. Comparison of the primary structure of ion-binding loops of alpha and beta-parvalbumins does not provide a clear-cut explanation of their differences in ion-binding properties.
