Self-association of sperm whale metmyoglobin

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1984
The solution behavior of sperm whale metmyoglobin in 0.15 I phosphate-chloride buffer, pH 7.2, has been examined by sedimentation equilibrium, frontal gel chromatography, and sedimentation velocity. Results obtained from all three studies are shown to be consistent with a self-association model in which dimerization of the myoglobin is governed by an ...

Crisis for sperm whales

Nature, 1978
The International Whaling Commission (IWC) is holding a special meeting in Japan next week. Two major tasks for the meeting will be to set catch limits for sperm whale stocks in the North Pacific and to review the status and catch limits of sperm whales in the Southern Hemisphere.

Stability properties of sperm whale oxymyoglobin

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1983
Sperm whale oxymyoglobin was isolated directly from muscle and was examined for its stability properties over the wide range of pH 5-13 in 0.1 M buffer at 25 degrees C. The remarkable pH dependence for the autoxidation rate was analyzed using the kinetic equation derived in terms of nucleophilic displacement processes of O-2 from oxymyoglobin by the ...

Ontogenesis of the sperm whale brain

The Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1998
The development of the sperm whale brain (Physeter macrocephalus) was investigated in 12 embryos and early fetuses to obtain a better understanding of the morphological and physiological adaptations in this most exotic cetacean concerning locomotion, deep diving, and orientation.

Whale Worm Sperm Factories

Science, 2007
SOCIETY FOR INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE BIOLOGY MEETINGPHOENIX, ARIZONA-- At the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting, held here from 3 to 7 January, researchers described male tubeworms with a distinctly odd but highly targeted development: They fail to mature, except with respect to their ability to produce sperm.

Baleen and Sperm Whales

2019
During the night of 13 to 14 March, the Nautilus continued on its route southwards. I thought that once at Cape Horn it would set sail for the west, in order to head for the seas of the Pacific and thus complete...
