Characterization and antimicrobial activity of lectins purified from three Egyptian leguminous seeds
Abstract Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins that play vital roles in many biological processes. In this study, lectins from three Egyptian cultivars (fava bean, lentil, and pea) were isolated by precipitation with different concentrations of ammonium sulfate. The purification process was perf...
