Unveiling the molecular basis of Pleurocybella porrigens lectin (PPL)-glycan recognition by NMR and X-ray crystallography.
The structural basis of Gal/GalNAc selectivity in PPL is clarified and the broader utility of ricin-B-like lectins as probes for biologically and clinically relevant O-glycan epitopes is supported, highlighting the complementarity of NMR and X-ray crystallography for the integrated characterization of lectin-glycan int...
