| Abstract: | The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c isolated from the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina has been determined by comparison of the compositions of the tryptic peptides to those predicted from the published sequences of cytochromes c from other insects. Cytochrome c from L. cuprina differs at a single residue when compared to cytochrome c from the screw worm fly Haematobia irritans, a species belonging to the same order as the blowfly. This substitution, proline for alanine, has been located at position 44 in the protein chain. |
