| complete amino acid sequence of three reptile lysozymes. | to study the structure and function of reptile lysozymes, we have reported their purification, and in this study we have established the amino acid sequence of three egg white lysozymes in soft-shelled turtle eggs (sstl a and sstl b from trionyx sinensis, astl from amyda cartilaginea) by using the rapid peptide mapping method. the established amino acid sequence of sstl a, sstl b, and astl showed substitutions of 43, 42, and 44 residues respectively when compared with the hewl (hen egg white lys ... | 2010 | 19747569 |
| palaeoamyda messeliana nov. comb. (testudines, pan-trionychidae) from the eocene messel pit and geiseltal localities, germany, taxonomic and phylogenetic insights. | abundant pan-trionychid (soft-shell) turtles specimens have been found in eocene sequences of central europe, particularly from two localities in germany, the messel pit (a unesco world natural heritage site) and geiseltal, traditionally attributed to trionyx messelianus or rafetoides austriacus. over the last two decades new specimens of this taxon from these two localities have been discovered and fully prepared. however, they have remained unstudied, as well as their phylogenetic position ins ... | 2016 | 27812431 |
