Polydopamine-coated magnetic liposomes offer insight into the lectin–glycan interactions in motion. By observing minute changes in the rotational motion of magnetic nanoparticles under alternating ...

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 ...

In a recent article published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers evaluate the potency of antiviral lectins against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...

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 ...

In a recent review published in Cellular and Molecular Immunology, researchers discuss the regulatory roles of glycans and glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) in modulating immune responses, particularly ...
