Rice Krispies: OK Ricin Krispies: Not so much.

Ricin was made infamous by the Markov assassination, and permanently ingrained into pop culture by Breaking Bad.

When two ricin toxins love eachother very much...
-
We have 2 castor bean plants on the golf course I work at. The plants themselves are incredible. They grow very fast, and very tall. And have huge leaves.

I loved it when Jesse and Walt said "It's Ricin time" in Breaking Bad and Ricined all over the place.

Hi, noticed a small error at 7:27. Ricin is not hydrophobic but I think you meant hydrophilic or lipophobic. Anyway, great video
-
Just some corrections to the video: 1. Obviously, ricin isn't the only toxic protein. Many venoms are protein-based too, so there are many toxic proteins we would want to avoid. 2. Ricin is hydrophilic, not hydrophobic. If it's hydrophobic, it would be able to dissolve in oil.

Aw you won't tell us how to make our own at home? Part of learning is the hands-on experience! π

Not to be confused with rice
-
This is the only YouTube channel that has captivating science videos that are interesting please keep doing these beautiful videos.
-
it would have been worth mentioning, though, that extracting pure, intact ricin is a rather difficult and laborious process.

"Rice and beans Mr White what the hell?"

I wonder if we could use the B-Toxin as a drug delivery method to get medicine inside cells. Perhaps we could make it so a modified version of the A-Toxin is able to be disabled by healthy cells, but not cancerous ones. Also, perhaps we could find a human-specific enzyme and modify toxin A to bind to that enzyme and disable its toxicity, allowing the toxin complex to act as a universal antibiotic/fungicide allowing a cure for nearly all non-virulant infections.
