DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-0430-4_56
Abstract: AJLec (18.5 kDa), a novel galactose-specific lectin, was isolated from the sea anemone Anthopleura japonica. AJLec demonstrates specificity for galactose monomers and β-linked terminal galactose residues in complex carbohydrates but not for N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) which is… read more here.

Abstract: Nematode-trapping fungi are natural enemies of nematodes in nature. Arthrobotrys oligospora, a typical nematode-trapping fungus with a clear genetic background, can capture and infect nematodes by forming adhesive three-dimensional networks. Lectins, a class of glycoproteins… read more here.

DOI: 10.17265/2328-2150/2018.05.001
Abstract: Objectives: Alliinase is a pyridoxal-5’-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme responsible for the production of diallyl thiosulfinate (allicin), the biologically active component of garlic, from alliin. The use of allicin for treatment of various diseases has been proposed… read more here.
