    Glycotope Structures and Intramolecular Affinity Factors of Plant Lectins for Tn/T Antigens

    O-glycosylation is a widely distributed posttranslational modification initiated by the addition of GalNAc to serine or threonine residues of polypeptide chains. The GalNAc may be further substit...

    Recognition Roles of Mammalian Structural Units and Polyvalency in Lectin–Glycan Interactions

    Lectins are an important class of proteins or glycoproteins of nonimmune origin that specifically or selectively bind carbohydrate moieties of complex carbohydrates. They play many critical roles in life proce...

    Adhesion/Growth-Regulatory Galectins: Insights into Their Ligand Selectivity Using Natural Glycoproteins and Glycotopes

    “Biochemistry text books commonly make it appear that it is a foregone conclusion that the hardware of biological information storage and transfer is confined to nucleotides and amino acids, the letters of the...
