Chimerolectins: Classification, structural architecture, and functional perspectives. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Lectins are proteins or glycoproteins capable of binding specifically and reversibly to carbohydrates, a property that, in itself, gives them great functional versatility in organisms from all kingdoms of nature. A subclass of these proteins, called chimerolectins, is composed of proteins that have at least one lectin domain associated with ...

Molecular modeling of lectin-like protein from Acacia farnesiana reveals a possible anti-inflammatory mechanism in Carrageenan-induced inflammation. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2013
Acacia farnesiana lectin‐like protein (AFAL) is a chitin‐binding protein and has been classified as phytohaemagglutinin from Phaseolus vulgaris (PHA). Legume lectins are examples for structural studies, and this family of proteins shows a remarkable conservation in primary, secondary, and tertiary structures.
