Ricin molecule, artwork C017 / 3655
Ricin molecule. Computer artwork showing the structure of a molecule of the toxic protein ricin. Ricin comprises two entwined amino acid chains; A (yellow) and B (blue). The A-chain is toxic, inhibiting protein synthesis in cells and causing cell death. It is carried into cells by the non-toxic B-chain, which is able to bind to the cell surface. Ricin is derived from the seeds of the castor oil plant (Ricinus communis), making it easy to be used as a toxin by bioterrorists. Less than a milligram is enough to kill an adult. Inhaling ricin causes coughing, pulmonary oedema and death. If ingested, it causes gastroenteritis, liver and kidney damage and death from circulatory failure. There is no antidote.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the ricin molecule, a highly toxic protein. Created through computer artwork, it vividly depicts the two intertwined amino acid chains that make up ricin - A (yellow) and B (blue). While the non-toxic B-chain facilitates cell entry by binding to the cell surface, it is the toxic A-chain that wreaks havoc within cells, inhibiting protein synthesis and ultimately leading to cell death. Derived from castor oil plant seeds, ricin poses a significant threat as a potential bioterrorist weapon due to its deadly properties. Shockingly, even less than a milligram can prove fatal for an adult. Inhalation of ricin causes severe respiratory symptoms such as coughing and pulmonary edema, often resulting in death. Ingestion leads to gastroenteritis and extensive damage to vital organs like the liver and kidneys before culminating in circulatory failure. The absence of an antidote further amplifies the danger associated with this lethal compound. Its structural composition reveals its biochemical nature as well as its ability to act as an inhibitor or inactivator of cellular processes. This molecular model serves not only as a catalyst but also highlights key elements such as enzymes, amino acids, macromolecules, secondary structures, tertiary structures – all crucial components within biological systems. Crafted by Ramon Andrade from 3DCiencia/Science Photo Library, this artwork provides valuable insights into both biochemistry and bioterrorism threats while emphasizing the importance of understanding these dangerous compounds for scientific research purposes rather than commercial use.
