Fragment-based identification of determinants of conformational and spectroscopic change at the ricin active site

BACKGROUND: Ricin is a potent toxin and known bioterrorism threat with no available antidote. The ricin A-chain (RTA) acts enzymatically to cleave a specific adenine base from ribosomal RNA, thereby blocking translation. To understand better the relationship between ligand binding and RTA active sit...
