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

Lectins are proteins with a high degree of stereospecificity to recognize various sugar
structures and form reversible linkages upon interaction with glyco-conjugate complexes …

A novel approach for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from aqueous
solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by using Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. seed powder …

The genus Artocarpus (Moraceae) comprises about 50 species of evergreen and deciduous
trees. Economically, the genus is of appreciable importance as a source of edible fruit, yield …

Plant lectins are being studied for over a century. Until a decade ago, most information was
obtained from biochemical, molecular, and structural studies of a reasonably high but still …

UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc): polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase
(polypeptide GalNAc-T) catalyzes transfer of the monosaccharide GalNAc to serine and …

Although for a long time carbohydrate binding property has been used as the defining
feature of lectins, studies carried out mostly during the last two decades or so demonstrate …

Abstract Background Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.(Jackfruit tree) is one of the most ancient
fruits indigenous to Western Ghats of India. They are large edible summer fruits and are …

Jacalin, the major protein from the jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) seeds, is a tetrameric
two-chain lectin (molecular mass 65 kDa) combining a heavy α chain of 133 amino acid …

A novel plant lectin was isolated from salt-stressed rice (Oryzasativa L.) plants and partially
characterized. The lectin occurs as a natural mixture of two closely related isoforms …
