Spatial Structure of Lectin from the Mussel Mytilus trossulus: In-Sights from Molecular Modelling and Practical Proof
Most proteins have the ability to self-associate into homooligomeric protein complexes, which consist of two or more identical subunits. Today, modern methods of molecular modeling are an integral part of the study of many biologically active molecules. In silico methods are widely used in structure...

description | Most proteins have the ability to self-associate into homooligomeric protein complexes, which consist of two or more identical subunits. Today, modern methods of molecular modeling are an integral part of the study of many biologically active molecules. In silico methods are widely used in structure establishing and function and activity prediction of lectins – carbohydrate-binding proteins. Here, we described by computer simulation the spatial organization of lectin isolated from the mantle of the mussel Mytilus trossulus (MTL). It was shown that the dimerization of MTL gives a total of six ligand binding sites that may be important for the manifestation its biological properties. The ability of MTL to form a dimeric and oligomeric structure was confirmed by dynamic light scattering and SDS-PAGE methods. |
