The amino acid compositions of two protein components of botulinum C2 toxin (C2T) designated components I and II, were analyzed and compared with those of 2 subfragments, the light and heavy chains, of botulinum C1 neurotoxin (C1T). The difference in amino-acid composition between these 2 toxins is in accordance with the differences in biological activity and molecular construction.
