Biochim Biophys Acta. 1971 Dec 28;251(3):482-8. doi: 10.1016/0005-2795(71)90140-1.

Abstract

The myoglobin of a gibbon has been compared with that of man. There was only one difference, residue 23 (B4) which is Gly in man was found to be Ser in the gibbon. Two corrections have also been made to the previously published sequence of human myoglobin (A.E. Romero Herrera and H. Lehmann, Nature, New Biol., 232 (1971) 149).
