FunctionSaporin is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP); alone, saporin does not selectively inactive ribosomes but rather conjugate with other molecules like peptides [3]. Saponaria officinalis is the plant from which saporin is extracted [4]. Type I and type II RIPS exist. Of these types, saporin is a type I. Ribosome inactivating proteins catalyze a cleavages N-glycosidic bond that is formed between the ribosome and adenine [5]. This adenine has the role of binding EF-1 and EF-2 to a ribosome [5].

You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
