… (Van Damme et al., 1994). Third, several legume species contain proteins that are clearly
related to the lectins but are devoid of carbohydrate-binding activity. Well-known examples of …

One of the most important direct defense responses in plants against the attack by phytophagous
insects is the production of insecticidal peptides or proteins. One particular class of …

… For example, ricin A-chain is able to act on naked E. coli 23S rRNA, but not the intact E. coli
ribosomes. Two important conclusions can be drawn from the apparent differences in activity …

… This chapter is based upon the references above and on van Damme [1981c]. … We say
that s (e) is an e-proper equilibrium of r if s ( e) is completely mixed and satisfies: …

… observations are almost correct so we will focus on F6 with e … (1989) and Carlsson and van
Damme (1991) which concern … In Carlsson and van Damme (1993) we consider a class of n-…

This paper is an attempt to throw some light on the issues of whether requiring an
equilibrium to be stable (in the sense of Kohlberg and Mertens) is necessary for self-enforcingness …

The range of sap-sucking insect pests to which GNA, (the mannose specific lectin from
snowdrops (Galanthus nivalis) has been shown to be insecticidal in artificial diets has been …

Plant lectins are extensively used as tools and as bioactiveproteins in different areas of
biomedical and biological research. The Handbook of Plant Lectins provides a comprehensive …

We describe the antiviral activity of plant lectins with specificity for different glycan structures
against the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and the feline …

Carbohydrate binding properties of a new plant lectin (GNA) isolated from snowdrop bulbs
were studied using the technique of quantitative precipitation, hapten inhibition, and affinity …
