First thorough characterization of the structure, interactions and specificity of an archeal lectin with implication for TB infection
Decades long studies on plant lectins carried out in this laboratory have contributed substantially to glycobiology and helped in the initiation and development of macromolecular crystallography in India. Subsequently the ...
Molecular Characterization of Mannose Binding Lectins
Lectins are proteins of non-immunologic origin that bind to carbohydrates with high fidelity. They constitute a large class of multivalent recognition molecules that specifically interact with their cognate sugar moieties ...
Structure analysis of lectin and lectin-like domains from Entamoeba histolytica
Lectins are a diverse group of proteins which can recognize different types of carbohydrates specifically and reversibly. Though first characterized in plants, lectins have now been identified in all other forms of life. ...
Structural Studies on Non-toxic Homologues of type II Ribosome Inactivating Proteins (RIPs)
This thesis is concerned with structural and related studies on two non-toxic homologues of type II RIPs. Type II RIPs, which are more toxic than type I, contain an additional lectin chain (B-chain) covalently linked to ...
Structural, Biophysical And Biochemical Studies On Mannose-Specific Lectins
(2013-01-17)
For a long time, the scientific community underestimated the value of carbohydrates and the approach of most scientists to the complex world of glycans was apprehensive. The scenario, however, has changed today. With the ...
Garlic (Allium Sativum) Agglutinin I: Specificity, Binding And Folding Mechanism
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-11-08)
Lectins are a class of proteins that bind to carbohydrates with a high degree of specificity. They are involved in various cellular processes such as, host - pathogen interactions, targeting of proteins within cells, cell ...
