Amino Acid Sequence of a β Chain of AII Component of Adult Chicken Haemoglobin

Nature New Biology volume 244, page 244 (1973)Cite this article

Abstract

ADULT chicken haemoglobin contains two principal components, AI and AII1. We have determined the amino acid sequence of the α chain of AII2. This chain has the same number of residues as the α chain of horse haemoglobin, but differs from it in forty or forty-two positions3,4. We report here the sequence of the β chain of this component.
