The recombinant MT-III had a high affinity for metals, and could inhibit the growth of neuronal cells in vitro . The essential results of the calculations have been presented as plots drawn as a function of the backbone torsion angles j and y . The low energy structures of these model compounds provide useful insights into the design of peptidomimetics with turn characteristics. Jr. Lectins are proteins important in various biological processes such as infection, cell differentiation and metastasis. The Parkia pendula lectin has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour diffusion method.
Preliminary analysis reveals the presence of one molecule in the asymmetric unit.
