The research team created a series of GnT-IVa and GnT-IVb mutants that impaired only the lectin-binding activity of both glycosylation enzymes to determine whether or not lectin binding was ...

Lectins are a kind of protein present in various foods such as grains, legumes, and nightshade vegetables. While they’re generally safe for consumption, some individuals may suffer from negative ...

Probing the bacterial glycome using chemical & physical methods Lectins (carbohydrate-binding proteins) have been used as tools for glycoprofiling, most recently in microarray formats. This is a ...
