BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF RIBOSOME-INACTIVATING PROTEINS ISOLATED FROM NIGELLA SATIVA (BLACK SEED)

Аннотация

One of the most important directions in the development of new biotechnologies is the creation of pharmacological preparations that have a highly specific effect on cells or molecules in the organism. Currently, proteins or their conjugates are attracting particular interest from researchers in the creation of highly selective drugs. In this context, plant toxins that completely stop protein synthesis in the cell by switching ribosomes to an inactive state are being actively studied. These toxins are collectively called Ribosome-Inactivating Proteins (RIPs).
