Many plants contain carbohydrate-binding proteins that are commonly designated as lectins,
agglutinins, or hemagglutinins. Due to the obvious differences in molecular structure …

Lectins are a diverse class of proteins distributed extensively in nature. Among these
proteins; legume lectins display a variety of interesting features including antimicrobial; …

The legume lectins are a large family of homologous carbohydrate binding proteins that are
found mainly in the seeds of most legume plants. Despite their strong similarity on the level …

This is the second edition of our little red book Lectins published in 1989. In the intervening
years well over 10,000 articles have appeared with lectins as the main subject, and more …

Lectins—carbohydrate-binding proteins involved in a variety of recognition processes—
exhibit considerable structural diversity. Three new lectin folds and further elaborations of …

Overweight and obesity are constantly increasing, not only in Western countries but also in
low‐middle‐income ones. The decrease of both the intake of carbohydrates and their …

The rapidly growing literature on the response of edible plants to nanoceria has provided
evidence of its uptake and bioaccumulation, which delineates a possible route of entry into …

To date, a number of mannose-binding lectins have been isolated and characterized from
plants and fungi. These proteins are composed of different structural scaffold structures …

Seeds from the legume tree Maackia amurensis contain two lectins that can agglutinate
different blood cell types. Their specificity toward sialylated oligosaccharides is unique …

The pioneering studies of Irvin Liener on soybean agglutinin (SBA) in the early 1950s
served as the starting point of our involvement in lectin research during the past four …
