Glycan detecting tools developed from the Clostridium botulinum whole hemagglutinin complex

Abstract Lectins are proteins with the ability to recognize and bind to specific glycan structures. These molecules play important roles in many biological systems and are actively being studied because of their ability to detect glycan biomarkers for many diseases. Hemagglutinin (HA) proteins from...
