Figure 1: Mannose-binding lectin (blue strands) can bind to sites on the SARS-Cov-2 spike protein on the cell membrane. One of the most striking features of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is that across all ...

A recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server and under consideration at Scientific Reports investigated the impact of a recombinant fragment of cellular glycoprotein ...

Fungal lectins are a diverse group of carbohydrate‐binding proteins that play critical roles in mediating cell–cell interactions, host–pathogen recognition and environmental sensing. Increasingly, ...

The role of F-18 FDG PET within randomized multicenter phase III trials for multi-modality treatment of non-small cell lung cancer stage III No significant financial relationships to disclose. This is ...

Chronic liver disease is a major complication of cystic fibrosis (CF) and factors other than the deletion of ΔF508 (which causes CF) may control the development of liver damage. In May Journal of ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Modifications in rabbit sperm plasma membranes during epididymal passage and after ejaculation were investigated by use of three lectins: ...

Specific glycans attached to the GnT-IVa and GnT-IVb can bind to the enzyme’s ligand-binding site, interfering with recognition and binding to the glycosylation proteins’ normal glycoprotein ...

Researchers have identified two sugar-binding proteins that impede the viral entry of circulating SARS-CoV-2 variants. The team may have found the 'Achilles' heel' of the virus, with potential for pan ...

A lectin, also known as the “antinutrient” is a type of protein that binds to certain carbohydrates. Just about every organism in the world, from plants to animals to microbes, contains lectins. There ...

Antibodies that bind to sugars on the surface of cancer cells, rather than to proteins, have not yielded satisfactory results so far due to their low binding affinity. However, scientists at the ...
