Recent chemical methods have begun to elucidate the binding partners and dynamic behavior of mammalian lectins in vivo. (A) Metabolic labeling with cross-linking sugars can report on the in situ interactions between lectins and glycans. (B) Glycoprotein mimics are synthetic, multimeric structures designed to emulate the spatial distribution of glycan epitopes on natural glycoconjugate ligands. (C) New tagging and imaging technologies for monitoring lectin trafficking and organization in vivo.
