Saturation binding curves of LecA binding to common galactose terminated glycolipids and Gb3/LacCer mixtures that show positive cooperativity. The saturation binding curves’ dash lines represent the curve fits to Hills equation, fitted parameters are listed in SI Table 4. Data points are reported as mean ± S.D (n = 8). To better show the data points at low concentrations, the same binding curves on a semi-log scale are shown in the supplementary information. (a and b) Saturation binding curves of LecA binding to bilayers of common galactose terminated glycolipids. (c) Saturation binding curves of LecA binding to bilayers containing Gb3/LacCer mixtures. (d) ϕ values for 1 mol% of Gb3 mixed with different densities of LacCer. Dash line representing the fit of ϕ to the sigmoidal function is a guide to the eye.
