Low Affinity Carbohydrate Lectin Interactions Examined with Surface Plasmon Resonance

The recognition of carbohydrates by proteins is an important element in many biological events like cell targeting, tumor invasion, immune response or bacterial and viral adhesion to host cells. 1,2 Besides structural data obtained from X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, the analysis of carb...

Description
Summary:The recognition of carbohydrates by proteins is an important element in many biological events like cell targeting, tumor invasion, immune response or bacterial and viral adhesion to host cells. 1,2 Besides structural data obtained from X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy, the analysis of carbohydrate protein interactions should also take into consideration other biophysical parameters such as dissociation constants or kinetic rate constants of the complex. However, these parameters are often difficult to determine due to the rather low affinity of the systems under investigation.
