The complete amino acid sequence of Sambucus nigra L. plastocyanin has been determined. The protein consists of a single polypeptide chain of 99 amino acids and one atom of copper, giving a molecular weight of 10517. The sequence shows considerable similarity to that of Chlorella fusca plastocyanin.
