Abstract:
Primary structure of beta-chain of pigeon is presented. It was determined by amino acid sequence analysis of intact beta-chain and its peptides obtained by the enzymatic and chemical cleavage. Comparison of amino acid sequence of the chain with other available data shows beta 14 Ile, beta 61 Lys, and beta 113 Ile as residues specific to pigeon. One important replacement at alpha 1 beta 1 contact is beta 55 Met----Ser.
