Plant lectins are easily available, fairly stable and suitable for many kinds of chemical
modification. Thus, they have become important tools in glycosciences. In the present …

A Archidendron jiringa Nielsen lectin was purified by aqueous extraction, 90% ammonium
sulphate precipitation and concanavalinA-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. Its specific …

This study aimed to evaluate the abilities of plant and algae lectins to inhibit planktonic
growth and biofilm formation in bacteria and yeasts. Initially, ten lectins were tested on …

Plant lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins, which can interact with cell surfaces to
initiate anti-inflammatory pathways, as well as immunomodulatory functions. Here, we have …

Lectins are an important group of proteins which are spread in all kingdoms of life. Their
most lighted characteristic is associated to their specific carbohydrate binding, although …

The seeds of 14 wild legume species from Brazil were analyzed to assess their potential as
food. The seeds showed high levels of crude protein (10.9–50.0%), dietary fiber (0.8–52.3%) …

A lectin with a high affinity for glucose/mannose was isolated from Annona muricata seeds
(Annonaceae) by gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-200, ion exchange …

Lectin from the seeds of Dioclea lasiophylla (DlyL) was purified in a single step by affinity
chromatography on a Sephadex® G-50 column. DlyL strongly agglutinated rabbit …

Lectin from the seeds of Dioclea sclerocarpa (DSL) was purified in a single step by affinity
chromatography on a Sephadex G-50 column. The primary sequence, as determined by …

A lectin from seeds of Dioclea lasiocarpa (DLL) was purified in a single step by affinity
chromatography in a Sephadex G‐50 column. DLL haemagglutinated rabbit erythrocytes …
