Abstract excerpt
The globin family has long been known from studies of approximately 150-residue proteins such as vertebrate myoglobins and haemoglobins. Recently, this family has been enriched by the investigation of the sequences and structures of truncated globins, which have the same basic topology but are approximately 30 residues shorter and exhibit functions other than the familiar one of binding diatomic ligands. The...
