The seeds of the Ricinus communis (Castor bean) plant are the source of the economically
important commodity castor oil. Castor seeds also contain the proteins ricin and R …

Ricin is a protein toxin produced by the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis) together with
a related protein known as R. communis agglutinin (RCA120). Mass spectrometric (MS) …

One of the most limiting factors in the production and processing of castor (Ricinus
communis L.) is the presence of ricin and Ricinus communis agglutinin (RCA) in the …

The castor plant (Ricinus communis L.) is a euphorb, commonly grown for its high seed oil
content. The seed also contains a deadly toxin known as ricin (RCA60) and the less toxic …

ABSTRACT Introduction Seeds of Ricinus communis contain the toxic protein ricin, a 64 kD
heterodimeric type II ribosome‐inactivating protein that has been used in several high …

The castor seed contains the toxin ricin, one of the most poisonous naturally occurring
toxins. The whole of the plant is poisonous, however the seeds are considered the major …

Ricin is a highly toxic, dichain ribosome-inactivating protein present in the seeds of Ricinus
communis (castor), grown principally as a source of high quality industrial lubricant and as …

Electrospray mass spectrometry (ES/MS), capillary-zone electrophoresis (CZE), capillary
isoelectric focusing (CIEF), and multianalyte resonant mirror are used to evaluate the …

Introduction. It is extremely important that diagnosis of persons exposed to ricin be achieved
in a timely fashion for triage and appropriate treatment. A sensitive and specific …

Ricin, a plant‐derived toxin extracted from the seeds of Ricinus communis (castor bean
plant), is one of the most toxic proteins known. Ricin's high toxicity, widespread availability …
