Determination and Purification of Ricin Protein from Ricinus communis L. Seeds using CLC (Column Liquid Chramotagoraphy) and FPLC (Fast Protein Liquid Chramatography)
Abstract:Ricin is the most toxic substance isolated from Ricinus communis L. seeds. It is a heterodimeric twodomain polypeptide protein that includes chain A (30 kDa) and chain B (35 kDa) linked by a disulfide bond. Ricin binds to cells by the B chain and is then internalized. Ricin has been reported as a potential chemical for cancer treatment. The measurement of protein concentration in an aqueous sample is an important assay in biochemistry research. However, so far, the quantification of ricin protein is not much r… Show more
