X-ray structure of the galectin-1 complex with 1 (Liao et al.¹⁵). (a) Dimer structure showing the pseudo-symmetric dimer of galectin-1 (ribbon) with bound LacNAc (stick). (b) Galectin-1 monomer as employed in the MD simulations. Binding site residues allowed motional freedom during restrained simulations are depicted with red ribbon. (c) Detail of CRD showing conserved amino acids important in LacNAc binding.
