En route to photoaffinity labeling of the bacterial lectin FimH
Mannose-specific adhesion of Escherichia coli bacteria to cell surfaces, the cause of various infections, is mediated by a fimbrial lectin, called FimH. X-ray studies have revealed a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) on FimH that can complex α-D-mannosides. However, as the precise nature of the...
