Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxic N-glycosidases that depurinate eukaryotic
and prokaryotic rRNAs, thereby arresting protein synthesis during translation. RIPs are …

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxins that act as N-glycosidases (EC 3.2. 2.22).
They are mainly produced by plants and classified as type 1 RIPs and type 2 RIPs. There …

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are rRNA N-glycosylases from plants (EC 3.2. 2.22)
that inactivate ribosomes thus inhibiting protein synthesis. The antiviral properties of RIPs …

Two antiviral glycoproteins, active against mechanical transmission of two tobamoviruses,
tobacco mosaic virus and sunnhemp rosette virus, and citrus ring spot virus (ungrouped) …

Transgenic crops would serve as a tool to overcome the forthcoming crisis in food security
and environmental safety posed by degrading land and changing global climate …

To protect themselves from invasion by pathogenic microorganisms, plants produce a wide
array of proteins that exert direct antimicrobial activity. Based on homology at the level of the …

Abstract BACKGROUND: Brucea javanica (L.) Merr. is widely distributed throughout the
southern parts of China and has been used in traditional medicine to treat a variety of …

An antiviral protein (AVP), imparting high level of resistance against sunnhemp rosette virus
(SRV) was purified from the dried leaves of Amaranthus tricolor. The purified protein (AAP …

There has been a growing interest in extracting essential oils from aromatic plants as
potential sources of biorational pesticides. In the present study, essential oil emulsions of …

This review is intended to be a critical evaluation of our current understanding of antiviral
compounds from medicinal plants (phytomedicines) and a discussion of the role that these …
