Citation
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.
