Characterization of MicroRNA and Gene Expression Profiles Following Ricin Intoxication
Toxins, 2019 Ricin, derived from the castor bean plant, is a highly potent toxin, classified as a potential bioterror agent. Current methods for early detection of ricin poisoning are limited in selectivity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are naturally occurring, negative

Post-Exposure Anti-Ricin Treatment Protects Swine against Lethal Systemic and Pulmonary Exposures
Toxins, 2020 Ricin, a plant-derived toxin originating from the seeds of Ricinus communis (castor bean plant), is one of the most lethal toxins known. To date, there is no approved post-exposure therapy for ricin exposures.

Cell toxicity by ricin and elucidation of mechanism of Ricin inactivation
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2018 Castor cake is a by-product of the extraction of oil from from seeds of castor plants (Ricinus communis). This by-product contains high levels of proteins, but a toxic protein, ricin, limits its use as an animal feed. Ricin can be efficiently inactivated by treatment with calcium oxide (CaO), which can be evaluated by a cytotoxicity assay using LLC-MK2

Duplicate entries in the Protein Data Bank: how to detect and handle them
Acta Crystallographica Section D, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 170-180, April 2025.A global analysis of protein crystal structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) reveals many pairs with (nearly) identical main‐chain coordinates. Such cases are identified and analyzed, leading to a proposal about how the PDB could ameliorate this problem.A global analysis of protein crystal structures in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) using a newly ...
