Lectin: History, Applications & Art

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that are highly specific for sugar groups that are part of sugars and other molecules. Lectins can recognize specific types of sugar moieties and play a role in the recognization of carbohydrates and glycosylated proteins. This recognition is used within organisms to mediate binding between specific cell types…
