Abstract
Both the A and B chains of ricin D consist of four CNBr fragments. These fragments have been isolated from the separated chains of S‐carboxymethylated ricin D obtained from the small bean variety of Ricinus communis. The peptides have been characterized by molecular weight, amino acid composition and amino terminal sequence. A unique order of the peptides is evident for each chain. These sequence data are compared with those obtained for ricin D isolated from the large bean variety (Funatsu et al, 1979; Yoshitake et al., 1978).Keywords
