The functionalized calixarene derivatives exhibit remarkable properties towards organic and
bioorganic molecules. However, the ability of calixarene derivatives to form stable …

Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with an affinity for β-galactosides.
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is differentially expressed by various normal and pathological tissues and …

A high‐density coding system is essential to allow cells to communicate efficiently and
swiftly through complex surface interactions. All the structural requirements for forming a …

Galectins belong to a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins with an affinity for β-

Galectin-3 is a 31 kDa member of a growing family of β-galactosidebinding animal lectins.
This protein is expressed in a variety of tissues and cell types and is mainly found in the …

Carbohydrates are known to mediate a large number of biological and pathological events.
Small and macromolecules capable of carbohydrate recognition have great potentials as …

Human galectin-1 is a potent multifunctional effector that participates in specific protein–
carbohydrate and protein–protein (lipid) interactions. By determining its X-ray structure, we …

We have previously reported that 1-benzyl-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-α-d-galactopyranoside
(GalNAcα-O-bn), an inhibitor of glycosylation, perturbed apical biosynthetic trafficking in …

Galectin-2 is structurally closely related to galectin-1, but has a distinct expression profile
primarily confined to the gastrointestinal tract. Prominent differences in the proximal …

Galectin-4 belongs to a subfamily of galectins composed of two carbohydrate recognition
domains within the same peptide chain. The two domains have all the conserved galectin …
