Abstract

Abstract Adhesion to the glycosylated surface of eukaryotic cells, mediated by lectins for example, plays an important role in inflammation and other cellular processes of living organisms. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in the adhesion to cell surfaces and their biological consequences, the investigation of the molecular interactions between carbohydrate recognition domains of lectins and their ligands is of relevance. In this work, ...
