Lectins are proteins that have the ability to recognize and bind in a reversible and specific
way to free carbohydrates or glycoconjugates of cell membranes. For these reasons, they …

Carbohydrates are more than an energy-storage. They are ubiquitously found on cells and
most proteins, where they encode biological information. Lectins bind these carbohydrates …

Lectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrates and sugar containing substances in a
specific and reversible way or precipitate glycoconjugates. These heterogeneous class of …

Lectins are a set of non-enzymatic carbohydrate binding proteins appearing in all domains
of life. They function to recognize, interact and bring about reversible binding of a specific …

Lectins are a heterogeneous group of proteins found in plants, animals and microorganisms,
which possess at least one non-catalytic domain that binds reversibly to specific mono-or …

Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins that bind specifically to mono, oligo or polysaccharides.
They are important biotechnological tools and have been isolated from microorganisms …

This short overview illustrates the great interest scientists have in lectins and their wide
applications in biotechnology and biochemical research. In the hundred years since …

Lectins are proteins found in a diversity of organisms. They possess the ability to agglutinate
erythrocytes with known carbohydrate specificity since they have at least one non-catalytic …

Lectins hold great promise not only as reagents for diagnostics and drug discovery but also
as a novel class of biopharmaceutical products. In fact, new research directions in the last …

Glycan-recognizing proteins can be broadly classified into two groups: lectins (which
typically contain an evolutionarily conserved carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD) and …
