Lectins are proteins with diverse molecular structures that share the ability to recognize and
bind specifically and reversibly to carbohydrate structures without changing the …

For decades, the biological roles of plant lectins remained obscure and subject to
speculation. With the advent of technological and scientific progress, researchers have …

Lectins are widely distributed proteins having ability of binding selectively and reversibly
with carbohydrates moieties and glycoconjugates. Although lectins have been reported from …

C-type lectins belong to a widely conserved family of lectins characterized in Metazoa. They
show important functional diversity and immune implications, mainly as pathogen …

Plants contain an extended group of lectins differing from each other in their molecular
structures, biochemical properties and carbohydrate-binding specificities. The …

Lectins constitute an abundant group of proteins that are present throughout the plant
kingdom. Only recently, genome-wide screenings have unraveled the multitude of different …

Lectins are a large and diverse class of proteins, found in all kingdoms of life. Plants are
known to express different types of carbohydrate-binding proteins, each containing at least …

Cell-to-cell transmission of toxic forms of α-Synuclein (αS) is thought to underlie disease
progression in Parkinson disease. αS in humans is constitutively N-terminally acetylated …

High salinity is a major stress factor affecting the quality and productivity of rice (Oryza sativa
