Crystal structure of ricin toxin A chain complexed with a highly potent pterin-based small-molecular inhibitor

AbstractRicin toxin A chain (RTA), from Ricinus communis, is a deadly protein that inactivates ribosomes by degrading an adenine residue at position 4324 in 28S rRNA. Recently, we have demonstrated that pterin-7-carboxamides with peptide pendants were potent RTA inhibitors. Among these, N-(pterin-7-...
