Two novel lectins were isolated from roots and leaves of garlic. Characterization of the
purified proteins indicated that the leaf lectin ASAL is a dimer of two identical subunits of 12 …

A mannose/glucose-specific lectin has been purified from Chinese evergreen chinkapin
(Castanopsis chinensis) seeds, one of the most popular foods in East Asia. This lectin …

The protein, a galactose binding lectin made up of a misture of full length chains and
endogenous C-and N-terminal fragments, was purified from Vatairea macrocarpa seeds and …

Lectins from plants of the Diocleinae subtribe often exhibit specificity towards
mannose/glucose and derived sugars, with some plants also displaying a second lectin …

A lectin present in seeds of Clitoria ternatea agglutinated trypsin-treated human B
erythrocytes. The sugar specificity assay indicated that lectin belongs to Gal/Gal NAc …

A novel plant lectin has been isolated from the rhizomes of Calystegia sepium (hedge
bindweed) and partially characterized. The lectin is a dimeric protein composed of two …

Abstract A novel lectin (CAA‐II) was isolated and purified from the seeds of Cicer arietinum
by ammonium sulphate fractionation and affinity chromatography on an N‐acetyl‐d …

A new mannose-binding lectin, designated SGM2, was isolated from the rhizome of a
Chinese medicinal herb Smilax glabra (also known as sarsaparilla in general) by saline …

The complete 236-amino-acid sequence of the glucose/mannose specific lectin from seeds
of Cratylia floribunda (CFL) was determined by automated Edman sequencing of …

Lectins are proteins that bind mono-and oligosaccharides specifically and reversibly but are
devoid of catalytic activity (ie are not enzymes) and, in contrast to antibodies, are not …
