title: Binding of Ricinus communis agglutinin to the mitochondrial inner membrane as an artifact during preparation.
abstract: Endosperm from Ricinus communis was homogenized in the presence of 3H-labelled Ricinus communis agglutinin, with or without addition of lactose. In preparations without the binding-specific sugar the subfraction containing the mitochondrial inner membrane contained sufficient labelled agglutinin to account for the agglutinin reported to be associated with this membrane.
