Electrospray ionization mass spectra of the zebrafish globins deconvoluted to real mass scale by MaxEnt software. Before ESMS analysis, globins were isolated by reversed-phase HPLC (Fig 6). Mass spectra of the HPLC fractions are shown in order of their elution; the bottom panel shows the mass spectrum of the least hydrophobic globin βA1 . Average molecular masses calculated for βA1 , βA2 , and αA1 globins on the basis of their known sequences are 16257.8, 16257.8, and 15437.0 Daltons, respectively.
