To meet the demands for food of the expanding world population, there is need of new ways
for protecting plant crops against predators and pathogens while avoiding the use of …

The main results of the research performed in the last 30 years on ribosome-inactivating
proteins (RIPs) are reviewed, with emphasis on the new, controversial and uncertain …

This is the second edition of our little red book Lectins published in 1989. In the intervening
years well over 10,000 articles have appeared with lectins as the main subject, and more …

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are toxins that act as N-glycosidases (EC 3.2. 2.22).
They are mainly produced by plants and classified as type 1 RIPs and type 2 RIPs. There …

This review provides a historical overview of the research on plant ribosome-inactivating
proteins (RIPs), starting from the first studies at the end of eighteenth century involving the …

Mannose-specific lectins are widely distributed in higher plants and are believed to play a
role in recognition of high-mannose type glycans of foreign micro-organisms or plant …

Many plants contain proteins that are commonly designated as ribosome-inactivating
proteins (RIPs). Based on the structure of the genes and the mature proteins a novel system …

l-Carnitine (lC) and any of its forms (glycine-propionyl l-Carnitine (GPL-C) or l-Carnitine l-
tartrate (l-CLT)) has been frequently recommended as a supplement to improve sports …

Lectins are known for their specific and reversible binding capacity to carbohydrates. These
molecules have been particularly explored in plants due to their reported properties …

The term ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) is used to denominate proteins mostly of plant
origin, which have N-glycosidase enzymatic activity leading to a complete destruction of the …
