Divergence pattern and selective mode in protein evolution: the example of vertebrate myoglobins and hemoglobin chains.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 1993

Otsuka J, Miyazaki K, Horimoto K

Abstract excerpt

The evolutionary relation of vertebrate myoglobin and the hemoglobin chains including the agnathan hemoglobin chain is investigated on the basis of a new view of amino acid changes that is developed by canonical discriminant analysis of amino acid residues at individual sites. In contrast to the...
