Article Synopsis
- Plant lectins, specifically from the Diocleinae subtribe, show significant biological variation despite their similarities.
- Canavalia boliviana lectin (Cbol) was successfully purified and crystallized using specific techniques and conditions, which included a Sephadex G-50 column and hanging-drop vapor diffusion at 293 K.
- The resulting crystals were identified as belonging to the monoclinic space group C2, with specific unit-cell measurements, suggesting a dimeric structure and a solvent content of approximately 46%, and a comprehensive data set was collected at a resolution of 1.5 A.
