Abstract

The amino acid sequence of plastocyanin from potato was determined. It consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 residues, of molecular weight 10332. The sequence was determined by using a Beckman 890c sequencer and by dansyl-Edman analysis of peptides derived from purified CNBr fragments. The sequence shows considerable similarity with that of Chlorella fusca, and also with the C-terminal region of bacterial azurins.
