Ricin comes under the category of functionally related toxins, in a combination known as RIPs (ribosome inactivating proteins). This disables ribosomes and stops the process of protein synthesis.  

They directly associate with and inactivate the ribosomes or modify the factors taking part in the process of translation, generally the elongation step. These proteins bring about depurination of adenine at position 4324 in the 28 S rRNA.  

This further inhibits the generation of a critical-stem-loop configuration to which the elongation factor is considered to combine at the time of the translocation step of translation. The ultimate outcome of this activity is the complete inhibition of cellular translation.

Curtis is a healthy man who is 32 years of age. using this information, calculate his approximate target heart rate zone for mod
Vikentia [17]

The target heart rate zone for moderate-intensity aerobic exercise is based on the maximum heart rate which varies with age (decrease with aging). Estimating maximum heart rate can be done by subtracting the age number from 220. So, in this case: 220-32=188

Curtis’ estimated maximum heart rate is 188 beats per minute.
