Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Hemocyanins are multisubunit copper containing proteins functioning as oxygen transporters in many species of arthropods and molluscs. Molluscan hemocyanins are decamers, didecamers, or multidecamers of subunit containing seven or eight oxygen-binding sites. Molecular structure of molluscan hemocyanin has been determined in details using gastropod, Keyhole Limpet and cephalopod, Octopus. It is reported that the molecular structure requires divalent cations and decomposes in their absences. In this work, I represent that a kind of divalent cation induced dissociation of cephalopod, Squid Todarodes pacificus hemocyanin molecule.
