Curcin C, a novel type I ribosome-inactivating protein from the post-germinating cotyledons of Jatropha curcas.

A novel type I ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP), designated as curcin C, was purified from Jatropha curcas, an important feedback source of bio-fuel. Molecular mass and isoelectric point of curcin C were 31.398 kDa and 7.
