Spontaneous Poisoning by Ricinus communis in Sheep

Captured Proteins by Immobilized Ricinus Communis Agglutinin in Rabbit Plasma

The Sepharose CL-6B column was prepared to separate ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) from the crude extract of castor beans due to the gel carrier contains a large amount of β-galactoside bond. RCA were immobilized on activated Sepharose 4B to make an immobilized RCA column, which was used to capture the proteins in rabbit plasma by affinity chromatography. Results showed that two polypeptides...

Synthase Gene from Ricinus communis L

1 L-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4, MIPS), an evolutionarily conserved enzyme protein, catalyzes the conversion of D-glucose-6-phosphate into 1 L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate (MIP), which is the fi rst and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of all inositol-containing compounds (Ray Chaudhuri et al., 1997; Abid et al., 2009). MIPS is found in diverse organisms, both eukaryotic and...
