    Expression of Binding Properties of Gal/GalNAc Reactive Lectins by Mammalian Glycotopes

    Expression of the binding properties of Gal/GalNAc specific lectins, based on the affinity of decreasing order of mammalian glycotopes (determinants) rather than saccharide inhibition pattern, is probably one ...

    Binding Properties and Applications of Aplysia Gonad Lectin

    Adult Aplysia gonad contains high levels of a galactophilic lectin (MW around 65 kDa; composed of 2 subunits of apparent single species). It binds galactose and various a/ß-galactosides (but not N-acetylgalactosa...

    Current concepts of the structure and nature of mammalian salivary mucous glycoproteins

    The visco-elastic properties of salivary secretions are due to high molecular-weight glyco-proteins, known as mucins. Mucins are composed of numerous oligosaccharide side-chains O-glycosidically linked through 2-...
