Structural insights into<i>Aspergillus fumigatus</i>lectin specificity: AFL binding sites are functionally non-equivalent
26 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
The Aspergillus fumigatus lectin AFL was recently described as a new member of the AAL lectin family. As a lectin from an opportunistic pathogen, it might play an important role in the interaction of the pathogen with the human host. A detailed study of structures of AFL complexed with several monosaccharides and oligosaccharides, including blood-group epitopes, was combined with affinity data from SPR and...
