title: Homologies of the N-terminal sequences of asclepains and papain.
abstract: Sequences to residue 21 have been determined for the two asclepains, cysteinyl proteases isolated from milkweed (Asclepias syriaca L.). These were compared with the sequence for papain, and extensive homology was found.
