Lectins are (glyco) proteins capable of reversibly binding to specific carbohydrates, thus
having various functions and applications. Plant lectins are the best studied, and the …

Although Nature's evolution and intelligence have gifted humankind with noteworthy
enzyme candidates to simplify complex reactions with ultrafast, overselective, effortless, mild …

A new mannose/N-acetyl-d glucosamine-specific lectin, named MaL, was purified from
seeds of Machaerium acutifolium by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, followed by affinity …

Alpinia purpurata is an ornamental crop known as a source of bioactive molecules. This is
the first study to report isolation of a lectin (carbohydrate-binding protein) from A. purpurata …

Abstract Structure-function study of plant lectins has received attention for elucidating
possible mechanisms of lectins in cell models. Lectins have the ability to interact with target …

The Dalbergieae lectin group encompasses several lectins with significant differences in
their carbohydrate specificities and biological properties. The current work reports on the …

Dalbergieae tribe lectins, possessing binding affinity for galactose and mannose, present
inflammatory and nociceptive effects, while those for N-acetylglucosamine are anti …

Lectins represent a class of proteins or glycoproteins capable of reversibly binding to
carbohydrates. Seed lectins from the Dalbergieae tribe (Leguminosae) have structural …

A novel thermostable lectin, called DdeL, was obtained from the extract of Dypsis decaryi
seeds. The extract of the tegument had the highest specific hemagglutination activity (196.03 …

A native lectin (nPELa), purified from seeds of the species Platypodium elegans,
