Lectins: carbohydrate-specific proteins that mediate cellular recognition

Article Abstract:

Lectins are kinds of proteins which bind mono- and oligossaccharides inversely and contain two or more carbohydrate combining sites in each lectin molecule. These proteins react with cells by combining with the sugars and cause cross-linking of the cells and their subsequent precipitation which is being referred to as cell agglutination. Lectins' agglutinating activities are responsible for the detection, characterization and recognition of other similar proteins and new ones.

Pulsed EPR spectroscopy: biological applications

Article Abstract:

Analysis of structure and dynamics of paramagnetic centers in biological samples employing various forms of the pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance technique is presented. Application of the method to heme molecules, iron-sulfur clusters, or metal ions in proteins, transient radicals, and amino acid radicals and nitroxide spin labels is discussed.
