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

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/hemagglutinins are a class of sugar-binding proteins which agglutinate cells and/or

As they manifest specifically and reversibly, lectins are proteins or glycoproteins with the
characteristic of agglutinating erythrocytes. Given that grain legume lectins can represent …

Affinity chromatography is a technique used to purify compounds, such as proteins, that
have the ability to non-covalently and reversibly bind specific molecules, known as ligands …

A 35 kDa rabbit erythrocyte agglutinating lectin from the seeds of Cicer arietinum was
purified and designated as CAL. The lectin was inhibited by fetuin and N-acetyl-d …

Two non-fetuin-binding lectins from tepary bean (Phaseolus acutifolius) seeds were purified
