Partial Amino Acid Sequence of Crayfish (Astacus Leptodactylus) Hemocyanin
There is a marked heterogeneity of arthropodan hemocyanin (Hc) subunits (1) which raises the question of the functional and evolutionary significance of such diversity. In particular it has often been contende...

Partial Primary Structure of the Helix Pomatia ßc-Hemocyanin Functional Unit D
Hemocyanins occur in two different phyla: molluscs and arthropods. Although their physiological role and some spectroscopic properties are similar, their quaternary structure and arrangement of oxygen binding ...

Cloning and Sequencing of Eurypelma Californicum Hemocyanin cDNA
The hemocyanin (Hc) of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum is a 24-meric macromolecule, built from seven different subunits — a,b,c,d,e,f,g — of molecular weights ranging from 68 kD to 74 kD. Of these subunits, ...

Primary Structure of Arthropod Hemocyanins
The relatively low solubility of oxygen in water has led, in the animal kingdom, to the development of oxygen carriers which increase the O2capacity of the blood between one and two orders of magnitude and thus p...
