Lectins are a widely studied group of proteins capable of specific and reversible binding to
carbohydrates. Undoubtedly, the best characterized are those extracted from plants of the …

Over the years, extensive urbanization and industrialization have led to xenobiotics
contamination of the environment and also posed a severe threat to human health. Although …

This work describes the isolation of a lectin (CasuL) from the leaf pinnulae of Calliandra
surinamensis and the evaluation of its cytotoxic, antimicrobial and antibiofilm properties …

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 have been studied owing to their structural properties and biological effects that
include agglutinating activity, antidepressant-like effect and antitumor property. The results …

A lectin from Canavalia virosa, Diocleinae subtribe, was purified by affinity chromatography
with Sephadex G-50 matrix and named ConV. The primary structure of ConV was obtained …

A novel lectin present in Dioclea reflexa seeds (DrfL) was discovered and described in this
study. DrfL was purified in a single step by affinity chromatography in a Sephadex G‐50 …

This study aimed to purify and characterize a novel mannose-binding lectin from the seeds
of Centrolobium microchaete. Centrolobium microchaete lectin (CML) was purified by affinity …

The lectin from Platypodium elegans seeds (PELa) was purified by affinity chromatography
in a mannose-agarose column. The lectin agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes and the …
