Taxonomy of Mitochondrial Cytochrome B Proteins of the Same Amino Acid Sequence Length

Prior to this study, we discovered a protein characterized by many different amino acid sequences with the same number of amino acid residues. This turned out to be a unique cytochrome b, in which 1048 molecules out of 1689 contain 379 amino acid residues. A detailed study of the occurrence of this...
