The primary structure of the beta I- and beta II-chains of yak hemoglobins (Bovidae).
The amino acid sequences of the beta I- and beta II-chains of yak hemoglobins have been determined. The two chains differ by four amino acid residues. The sequences are compared with the two beta-chains of bovine hemoglobins. The oxygen affinity of yak hemoglobin vis-a-vis the primary structure of the beta-chains is discussed.
