l cd in binding (concanavalin A, biotinv lated ricinus communis agglutinin, and biotinylated siiccinylated wheat germ agglutinin (B-SWGA)) was used to detect the glycosylated proteins associated with a residual protein fraction [insoluble in 4% sodium dodecyl sulfate and termed the nuclear residual fraction (NRF)] or with nuclear matrix preparations from normal rat liver, azo dye (3'-MeDAB)-ind...

Glycosyl-[60]fullerenes were first used as decontaminants against ricin, a lactose recognition proteotoxin in the Ricinus communis family. A fullerene glycoconjugate carrying two lactose units was synthesized by a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between C60 and the azide group in 6-azidohexyl β-lactoside per-O-acetate. A colloidal aqueous solution with brown color was prepared from deprotected b...

Castor (Ricinus communis L, Euphorbiaceous) is needed in the United States to supply caster oil for the hundred of products using this versatile chemurgical raw material. 40-45 thousand tons of castor oil and derivatives are imported each year. Ricinus communis is a common medicinal plant in Ayurveda and is used several part of country for various medicinal properties like the oil of leaf and r...

Electron microscopy was used to map the loci of immunochemically active sites on individual glycoprotein molecules. The positions of specific galactose residues and asparagine-linked carbohydrate chains containing specific mannose residues in epiglycanin, a glycoprotein of extended conformation from the surface of TA3 mouse mammary tumour cells, were observed in complexes with Ricinus communis ...
