GalNAc-specific plant lectins

Scheme 5.10 Dynamic generation around a metal-coordination center targeting GalNAc-specific plant lectins.

This group of lectins, among the earliest to be investigated among plant agglutinins, vary in their specificity from those which are primarily GalNAc-specific, to those which exhibit little specificity toward either sugar, to those which are most specific for Gal.
