Abstract: Saporin-S6 is purified from the seeds of Saponaria officinalis and its CDand FT-Raman spectra are determined. From the CDspectra of fresh protein aqueous and the same aqueous that was laid aside for 90 days, it is proved thatsaporin S6 has unusual stability. Throughout the FT-Raman spectra of saporin-S6, we work out that the α-helix of saporin-S6 is 26%, while β-fold is 37%, and random coil is 37%.
