| Description | lectins from pathogens, which can mediate recognition and adhesion to host cells, can be important virulence factors. The combination of binding experiments (isothermal titration microcalorimetry, surface plasmon resonance,...) and X-ray crystallography approaches is used to decipher the thermodynamical and structural basis for high affinity binding of these lectins to host carbohydrates. |
