The ring-tailed lemur, Lemur catta, shows a two-component hemoglobin phenotype after alkaline electrophoresis. A difference in the amino acid sequence of the isolated a-globins was observed at position 15 (a I-Gly, a II-Lys) and can account for the electrophoretic pattern of two hemoglobin component
While vertebrate hemoglobins typically are tetrameric and show highly regulated and cooperative ligand binding, little is known of the evolution of these properties. We are studying the structural and functional properties of the hemoglobins from Caudina arenicola, an echinoderm. The echinoderms are
