Network Analysis Reveals the Recognition Mechanism for Dimer Formation of Bulb-type Lectins
Abstract The bulb-type lectins are proteins consist of three sequential beta-sheet subdomains that bind to specific carbohydrates to perform certain biological functions. The active states of most bulb-type lectins are dimeric and it is thus important to elucidate the short- and long-range recogniti...
