Tetrameric hemoglobins (Hbs) A and D were isolated from red blood cells of the Aldabra
giant tortoises, Geochelone gigantea, by a hydrophobic interaction chromatography. After …

The complete primary structures of αD-2-and β-globin of hemoglobin D (Hb D) from the
Aldabra giant tortoise, Geochelone gigantea, have been constructed by amino acid …

The cDNA sequence encoding the turtle Geochelone carbonaria β‐chain was determinated.
The isolation of hemoglobin mRNA was based on degenerate primers' PCR in combination …

Red blood cells of yellow‐spotted river turtles (Podocnemis unifilis, Pleurodira, Chelonia,
REPTILIA) have two hemoglobin (Hb) components, Hb A and Hb D. We purified the …

To elucidate phylogenetic relationships among amniotes and the evolution of alpha globins,
hemoglobins were analyzed from the Komodo dragon (Komodo monitor lizard) Varanus …

We determined the complete amino acid sequences of the Erabu sea snake (Laticaudia
semifasciata) hemoglobin by analyzing the intact globin chains, enzymatically digested …

We determined the hemoglobin complete amino acid sequences of the Hiroo sea snake
(Laticaudia laticuada) from the intact globin chain, enzymatically digested fragments, and …

The hemoglobin of the Pale-Throated Three-Toed Sloth (Bradypus tridactylus, Xenarthra)
was separated into two components (ratio 4: 1) with identical amino-acid analyses for the a …

Phylogenetic relationships among reptiles were examined using previously published and
newly determined hemoglobin sequences. Trees reconstructed from these sequences using …

Five heme-containing polypeptides of the giant hemoglobin of Travisia japonica
(Polychaeta, Annelida) were separated in carbon monoxy form by ion-exchange …
