Kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), are common legumes, consumed worldwide. The
delicacy of kidney beans is highly appreciable but, at the same time, their toxicity has raised …

To date only a ribonuclease and a protein with anti-HIV-1 reverse transcriptase activity have
been isolated from mushrooms of the genus Russula. In this study a novel lectin, with a …

Introduction Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are extremely selective for sugar
groups in the other molecules. As a result, they perform a variety of roles in biological …

Aims: The aim of this work was to analyse the antimicrobial properties of a purified lectin
from Eugenia uniflora L. seeds. Methods and Results: The E. uniflora lectin (EuniSL) was …

A novel antioxidant polysaccharide–peptide complex LB-1b from the fruiting bodies of the
edible abalone mushroom (Pleurotus abalonus) was purified and identified. The structural …

The antifungal activity of proteinaceous compounds from different food matrices was
investigated. In initial experiments, water-soluble extracts of wheat sourdoughs, cheeses …

Lectins/hemagglutinins are a class of sugar-binding proteins which agglutinate cells and/or
precipitate glycoconjugates. They occur widely in plants but manifest significant differences …

A lectin has been isolated from seeds of the Phaseolus vulgaris cv.“Anasazi beans” using a
procedure that involved affinity chromatography on Affi‐gel blue gel, fast protein liquid …

A large number of trypsin inhibitors belonging to various types have been purified from
different kinds of legumes. In this study, by using liquid chromatography, a Kunitz type …

A dimeric 50 kDa melibiose‐binding lectin was isolated from the seeds of the cultivar of
soybean (Glycine max), called the small glossy black soybean. The isolation procedure …
