Plant lectins are biomolecules that are applied in the industrial and biomedical settings as
research tool. This is because of their ability to recognize carbohydrate, irrespective of the …

The unique carbohydrate-binding property of lectins makes them invaluable tools in
biomedical research. Here, we report the purification, partial primary structure, carbohydrate …

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 …

As the main carbohydrate-binding proteins, lectins are responsible for several biological
functions, although their specific roles are still being unveiled. In the current work, a jacalin …

A new agglutinin (lectin), called CBL3, was purified from the juice of ripe Cyphomandra
betacea Sendt. fruits until electrophoretically pure to homogeneity. The lectin is a …

Two major lectins (lectin I and lectin II) were purified to homogeneity from the seeds of
Araucaria brasiliensis (Gymnospermae). The purity of the lectins was confirmed by …

This work aimed at describing the first biochemical and structural data of a lectin belonging
to Swartzieae, a primitive Legume Taxa. A lactose-binding seed lectin (SLL) was purified by …

In this work, we characterized chemically the N-acetyl-D-galactosamine specific lectin from
Amaranthus leucocarpus syn hypocondriacus lectin (ALL). It is a dimeric glycoprotein …

Lectins are the carbohydrate-binding proteins of non-immune origin which have been the
subject of intense investigation over the last few decades owing to the variety of interesting …
