The myoglobin of primates. VIII. Gorilla gorilla beringei (eastern highland gorilla)

On aligning the tryptic peptides of the myoglobin from a gorilla with the homologous human peptides, one amino acid difference was found. By dansyl-Edman degradation this was shown to be at position 22, i.e. at a position other than those where man, chimpanzee and gibbon differ from one another.
