Purification of the lectin from Datura stramonium.

D C Kilpatrick, M M Yeoman
PMCID: PMC1186181  PMID: 743232

Abstract

The lectin from Datura stramonium can be inhibited by oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine. This property was exploited to purify the lectin by affinity chromatography on Sepharosefetuin. The purified lectin is a glycoprotein in having subunits of 40 000 and 45 000 mol.wt.
