Summary It is known that globin genes contain three exons with the middle exon coding for a four-helical supersecondary structure responsible for heme binding. Since this portion of the globin peptide chain can be structurally superimposed onto the cytochromec and cytochromeb 5 chains (Argos and Rossmann 1979), it can be inferred that the cytochromec gene will contain only one coding sequence while the cytochromeb 5 gene will be composed of three exons as found in the globin gene.
