The unique structures of protozoan myoglobin and yeast hemoglobin: an evolutionary diversity.

The international journal of biochemistry & cell biology - 1 Nov 1995

Shikama K, Matsuoka A, Iwaasa H

Abstract excerpt

A hemoglobin-like protein is found in some of the single-celled organisms, but its structure is quite different from that of mammalian myoglobin or hemoglobin. For instance, a protozoan myoglobin isolated from Paramecium caudatum consists of 116 amino acid residues, so that this contracted form is nearly two thirds of sperm whale myoglobin. Yeast hemoglobin from Candida norvegensis, on the other hand, is composed...
