Abstract
WE have recently crystallized1 hæmoglobin and myoglobin of the saltwater fish, Palamys sarda and Thunnus thynnus. Some physico-chemical and functional properties of these pigments have been described2–4. In this communication we report the amino-acid composition of Thunnus thynnus hæmoglobin, as determined by chromatography on an ion-exchange resin: a slightly modified version5 of the method of Moore and Stein.
