Fig. 3.

Differences in lectin specificities between organism categories. A, for each motif, the motif scores were averaged across all lectins within each category. Motifs with an average score below 0.88 in all organism categories were removed for clarity, and the remaining data were clustered. The categories are indicated by the column labels, and the motifs by the row labels. B, the average motif scores within each category were normalized to a maximum value of 10 (the average motif scores within a category all were divided by the maximum average in that category and multiplied by 10) to show the relative motif ranks within each category. C, for each motif, the maximum individual motif score was extracted from each category. For example, for the motif “Terminal Galβ1,4-” the program found the best score among all fungal lectins, then among all viral lectins, etc. Motifs with no scores above 7.4 in any category were removed for clarity.
