Influence of free amino and carboxyl groups on the specificity of plant anti-N

Vox Sang. 1975;28(5):389-91. doi: 10.1111/j.1423-0410.1975.tb02785.x.

Abstract

It is shown that M-active glycoproteins react de novo with anti-N lectins from Vicia graminea and Bauhinia purpurea after blocking of free amino and carboxyl groups. The significance of this phenomenon is briefly discussed.
