Abstract excerpt
The interaction of a synthetically prepared mutant peptide of hevein (a well known chitin-binding lectin) Hev32S19D with chitin oligosaccharides (and chitosan analogues) has allowed us to estimate their affinity constants and associated thermodynamic data. The mutant peptide is able to bind chitin oligomers, but with significant decreases in the association constants with chito-oligosaccharides. The determination...
