Abstract: | Lectins, a class of carbohydrate-binding proteins and widely recognized to play a range of crucial roles in many cell-cell recognition events triggering several important cellular processes encompass different members that are diverse in their protein structures, carbohydrate affinities and specificities, their larger biological roles and potential applications. To attain an effective use of all the diverse data initially an animal lectin database 'AnimalLectinDb' with information pertaining to taxonomic, structural, domain architecture, molecular sequence, carbohydrate structure and blood group specificity has been developed. It is expected to be of high value not only for basic study in lectin biology but also for advanced research in pursuing several applications in biotechnology, immunology, and clinical practice. AVAILABILITY: The database is available for free at http://www.research-bioinformatics.in. |
