| Abstract: | Summary The lectin receptor-site specificity of a purified galactan from snail (Achatina fulica) albumin glands has been studied by precipitin reactions in agar-gel double diffusion experiments with different lectins. Most lectins were found to be specific for terminal  -D-galactose structures. Some findings suggest, that the structure DGal1 3DGal may be one of the receptor sites on the polysaccharide. |
