Purification and carbohydrate-binding specificity of Agrocybe cylindracea lectin

摘要

A lectin was isolated from fruiting bodies of Agrocybe cylindracea by two ion-exchange chromatographies and gel filtration on Toyopearl HW55F. The lectin was homogeneous on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and its molecular mass was determined to be 30000 by gel filtration, and 15000 by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, signifying a dimeric protein.
