摘要
蓖麻毒蛋白(ricin)是一种核糖体失活蛋白,它由分子量分别为32KD和34KD的A、B两条链组成,具有很强的细胞毒性。本文综述蓖麻毒蛋白的结构和物理性质、毒性作用机理、制备及在医疗和生物农药方面的应用前景。
Ricin is a ribosome-inactivating protein that can be easily isolated from castor bean seeds (Ricinus communis). It consists of a 32KD A chain (RTA) linked by a disulfide band to a 34KD B chain (RTB). The structure and physical properties of ricin, toxic mechanism, extraction method, and the application of this protein toxin are reviewed in this paper.
