Abstract

Lectins from different sources are known to interfere with HIV infection. The anti-viral activity is mediated by binding to high mannose sugars present on the viral envelope, thereby inhibiting cell entry. The lectin from Oscillatoria agardhii agglutinin (OAA) specifically recognizes a unique substructure of high mannose sugars and exhibits broad anti-HIV activity. Here we report the assignment of backbone and side-chain (1)H, (13)C and (15)N resonances of free OAA.

Keywords: Anti-HIV lectins; NMR assignment; Oscillatoria agardhii agglutinin.
