Chemical Investigations of the Castor Bean Plant Ricinus communis
In 2009 a National Security Science and Technology grant was awarded to the Human Protection and Performance Division for the investigation of several forensic aspects of the castor bean plant Ricinus communis. A major focus of this grant was to understand the chemical composition of the seeds, and to ascertain if these differences could be used for provenance classification. This technical rep...
متن کاملLectins in castor bean seedlings.
The amounts of the two lectins (ricin and Ricinus communis agglutinin) in tissues of castor bean seedlings were followed during germination and early growth. For measurement, lectins in extracts were separately eluted from Sepharose columns; an antibody to the agglutinin was also used to detect the lectins by immunodiffusion. The endosperm of the dry seed contains 3.5 mg total lectin (5.6% of t...
متن کاملProteases and Peptidases of Castor Bean Endosperm
The endosperm of castor bean seeds (Rkinus comunuis L.) contains two -SH-dependent amptidases, one hydrolyzing L-leucine-,Bnaphthylamide optimally at pH 7.0, and the other hydrolyzing L-proline,B-naphthylamide optimally at pH 7.5. After germination the endosprm contains in addition an -SH-dependent hemoglobin protease, a serinedependent carboxypeptidase, and at least two -SH-dependent enzymes h...
متن کاملEvidence that the castor bean allergens are the albumin storage proteins in the protein bodies of castor bean.
The well characterized castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) allergens were identified as the low molecular weight albumin storage proteins in the matrix of the protein bodies in the endosperm. The methods of identification involved molecular weight estimation, amino acid composition, stability at 100 degrees C, solubility in various solvents, gel electrophoresis, and immunological techniques. The ...
متن کاملPhosphatidylcholine synthesis in castor bean endosperm.
Three pathways for phosphatidylcholine synthesis were assayed in castor bean (Ricinus communis var. Hale) endosperm. Phosphatidylethanolamine: S-adenosylmethionine methyl transferase occurred predominantly in the endoplasmic reticulum fraction, but some activity appeared in the mitochondria. Phosphorylcholine glyceride transferase occurred exclusively in the endoplasmic reticulum. The phosphory...
