The myoglobin of the Cape fox (Vulpes chama)

Tryptic, peptic and chymotryptic peptides from the myoglobin of the Cape fox (Vulpes chama) have been aligned with the sequence of the myoglobin of the domestic dog. No amino acid difference was found. Seven carnivore myoglobins now known are compared amongst themselves and it is noted that though the differences between them are found in many different parts of the myoglobin molecule, there seems to be a higher incidence along the loop formed by helix G, the interhelical region GH and the helix H.
