Lectins engineered to favor a glycan-binding conformation have enhanced antiviral activity
Homologues of the Oscillatoria agardhii agglutinin (OAA) lectins contain a sequence repeat of ∼66 amino acids, with the number of tandem repeats varying across family members. OAA homologues bind high-mannose glycans on viral surface proteins, thereby interfering with viral entry into host cells. As...
