Abstract:
A comparative study of the spectral, electrophoretic and isoelectric properties of the haemoglobins of three trematodes, Paramphistomum epiclitum, Gigantocotyle explanatum and Gastrothylax crumenifer was carried out. A high absorption in the beta band region indicates that trematode haemoglobins have high oxygen affinities. Electrophoretic mobilities of all trematode and their host haemoglobins were different. The isoelectric points of trematode haemoglobins were found to focus in the acidic range except that of G. crumenifer haemoglobin I, which focused at an alkaline pH.
