13C NMR studies of the interaction of concanavalin A with saccharides

The binding of alpha- and beta-methyl-D-glucopyranoside and beta-(o-iodo-pheryl)-D-glucopyranoside to concanavalin A has been studied by carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The kinetics and binding orientations of these saccharides relative to the transition metal ion site in the protein have been determined.
