Lupin leghemoglobin

Figure 7.12. Alignment of Human Myoglobin and Lupine Leghemoglobin. The use of the Blosum-62 substitution matrix yields the alignment shown between human myoglobin and lupine leghemoglobin, illustrating identities (orange) and conservative substitutions (yellow). These sequences are 23% identical.

Figure 6.11 Alignment of identities only versus the Blosum 62 matrix. Repeated shuffling and scoring reveal the significance of sequence alignment for human myoglobin versus lupine leghemoglobin with the use of either (A) the simple, identity-based scoring system or (B) the Blosum-62 matrix. The scores for the alignment of the authentic sequences are shown in red. The Blosum matrix provides greater statistical power.

Figure 6.14 Conservation of three-dimensional structure. The tertiary structures of human hemoglobin (a chain), human myoglobin, and lupine leghemoglobin are conserved. Each herne group contains an iron atom to which oxygen binds. [Drawn from lHBB.pdb, IMBD.pdb, and IGDJ.pdb.]...
