Characterization and antimicrobial activity of lectins purified from three Egyptian leguminous seeds
AMB Express, 2020 Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that play vital roles in many biological processes. In this study, lectins from three Egyptian cultivars (fava bean, lentil, and pea) were isolated by precipitation with different concentrations of ammonium ...

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Signaling pathways for transduction of the initial message of the glycocode into cellular responses [PDF]
, 1998 The sugar units of glycan structures store information and establish an alphabet of life. The language of the oligosaccharide coding units is deciphered by receptors such as lectins and the decoded message can be transduced by multiple signaling pathways.
