Studies on the tryptophan residues of soybean agglutinin. Involvement in saccharide binding.
Modification of tryptophan side chains of soybean agglutinin (SBA) with N-bromosuccinimide results in a loss of the hemagglutinating and carbohydrate binding activities of the protein. One residue/subunit is probably essential for the binding activity. Modification leads to a large decrease in the fluorescence of the protein accompanied by a blue shift. Iodide ion quenching of the protein fluor...
متن کاملKinetic and thermodynamic studies of the removal of murexide from aqueous solutions on to activated carbon
The objective of this study was to assess the adsorption potential of activated carbon (AC) asan adsorbent for the removal of Murexide (Mu) from aqueous solutions. The influence of variablesparameters including pH, amount of adsorbent, sieve size of adsorbent, temperature and contact timeon Mu removal was studied. Following optimization of variables, the relation between concentrations ofdye re...
متن کاملThermodynamic and kinetic analysis of carbohydrate binding to the basic lectin from winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus).
A basic lectin (pI approximately 10.0) was purified to homogeneity from the seeds of winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus) by affinity chromatography on Sepharose 6-aminocaproyl-D-galactosamine. The lectin agglutinated trypsinized rabbit erythrocytes and had a relative molecular mass of 58,000 consisting of two subunits of Mr 29,000. The lectin binds to N-dansylgalactosamine, leading to a 1...
متن کاملIntrinsic fluorescence studies on saccharide binding to Artocarpus integrifolia lectin.
The combining region of Artocarpus integrifolia lectin has been studied by using the ligand-induced changes in the fluorescence of the lectin. The saccharide binding properties of the lectin show that C-1, C-2, C-4, and C-6 hydroxyl groups of D-galactose are important loci for sugar binding. The alpha-anomer of galactose binds more strongly than its beta-counterpart. Inversion in the configurat...
متن کاملChemical modification studies on Ricinus communis (Castor Bean) agglutinin.
Ricinus communis agglutinin was subjected to various chemical treatments and the effect on its hemagglutinating and saccharide-binding properties was studied. Acetylation, succinylation and citraconylation led to a complete loss in the activity of the agglutinin, whereas reductive methylation had no effect on the activity, showing that charged amino groups were involved in the hemagglutinating ...
