Binds molecules that contain αDmannose, αDglucose, and sterically related residues Compared to Con A, also for glycoprotein purification, Lentil Lectin distinguishes less sharply between glucosyl and mannosyl Retains binding in 1% deoxycholate and is especially valuable for purification of detergentsolubilized membrane proteins Lentil lectin is a metalloprotein, containing Ca₂₊ and Mn₂₊, which binds reversibly to polysaccharides and glycoconjugates containing glucose or mannose type sugars. Lentil lectin is a metalloprotein, containing Ca₂₊ and Mn₂₊, which binds reversibly to polysaccharides and glycoconjugates containing glucose or mannose type sugars. Lentil Lectin Sepharose 4B is a generally applicable group specific adsorbent and is routinely used in the preparation and purification of a number of glycoproteins and carbohydrate containing molecules.
