Abstract

1. N-terminal amino acid sequences of seven crustacean hemocyanin subunits were determined and compared together with a number of known N-terminal sequences. 2. Within crustacean infraorders, relationships of subunits were established. Relationships based on N-terminal sequences were compared with a classification based on immunological characterization.
