ResumoThe amino acid sequence of two nonspecific lipid‐transfer proteins (nsLTP) B and C from germinated castor bean seeds have been determined. Both the proteins consist of 92 residues, as for nsLTP previously reported, and their calculated M r values are 9847 and 9593 for nsLTP‐B and nsLTP‐C, respectively. The sequences of nsLTP‐B and nsLTP‐C, compared to the known sequence of nsLTP‐A from the same source, are 68% and 35% similar, respectively. No variation was found at the positions of the cysteine residues, indicating that they might be involved in disulfide bridges.
