Abstract

Mitochondrial DNA variability affects the characteristics of cell metabolism and serves as marker of evolutionary processes. The mitochondrial cytochrome b gene sequences of saker and gyrfalcon were examined. Five amino acid substitutions were identified, and for two of these, changes in amino acid physicochemical properties were revealed. Suggestions on the phylogenetic origin and functional influence of the detected amino acid substitutions were made.
