The Third Dimension of Reading the Sugar Code by Lectins [PDF]
, 2013 Coding of biological information is not confined to nucleic acids and proteins. Endowed with the highest level of structural versatility among biomolecules, the glycan chains of cellular glycoconjugates are well-suited to generate molecular messages ...

Plant Protoplast Agglutination by Lectins [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1978 Concanavalin A, soybean (Glycine max L.) lectin, castor bean (Ricinus communis L.) lectin, and peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) lectin were able to agglutinate protoplasts prepared from a variety of plant species. The seven other lectins tried were unable to agglutinate those protoplasts tested. Protoplasts prepared from 11 species were used.

Structural Diversities of Lectins Binding to the Glycosphingolipid Gb3
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021 Glycolipids are present on the surfaces of all living cells and thereby represent targets for many protein receptors, such as lectins. Understanding the interactions between lectins and glycolipids is essential for investigating the functions of lectins ...
