Biosynthesis of Chick Hemoglobins

Abstract
In vivo studies of the biosynthesis of chick hemoglobins 1 and 2 showed an over-all higher incorporation of glycine-2-C14, valine-4-C14, valine-1-C14, leucine-G-C14, and histidine-(2-ring)-C14 in hemoglobin 2; in vitro studies made with intact nucleated chick erythrocytes showed the higher incorporation of glycine-2-C14, valine-1-C14, and histidine-(2-ring)-C14 in hemoglobin 1. Hybridization of chick hemoglobins produced an electrophoretically distinguishable new component.
