Purification of lectins from the stems of peanut plants
Glycoconjugate Journal
|August 1, 1994
Abstract:
The stem of the peanut plant contains two lectins, a methyl alpha-mannoside specific lectin (SL-I) and a lactose/cellobiose specific lectin (SL-II). These lectins are found to be developmentally regulated and maximum activities are observed in 3-4-weeks-old plants. The two lectins SL-I and SL-II have been purified from 3-week-old stem by affinity chromatography on Sephadex G-50 and guar gum matrices respectively. Both are glycosylated lectins and have the identical subunit molecular weight of 31 kDa.
