Evolution of enzymatic activities in the enolase superfamily: partitioning of reactive intermediates by (D)-glucarate dehydratase from Pseudomonas putida.

abstract：:The complete primary structure of the major component myoglobin from the Arctic minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata, was determined by specific cleavage of the protein to obtain large peptides which are readily degraded by the automatic sequencer. Over 80% of the amino acid sequence was established from the three ...
