The Primary Structure of the Hemoglobin of the Brazilian Manatee(Trichechus inunguis,Sirenia)

Biological Chemistry Hoppe-Seyler, 1988
The hemoglobin of the Brazilian Manatee (Trichechus inunguis, Sirenia) consists of one component. We present the primary structures of the alpha- and beta-chains which have been separated by chromatography on carboxymethyl-cellulose CM-52. The sequences have been determined by automatic Edman degradation with the film technique, using the native chains,
