【 摘 要 】

Sequence studies have been performed on affinity purified peanut agglutinin, a galactose binding lectin. 161 residues have been compared to homologous residues in soybean agglutinin and favin. Extensive similarities have been uncovered, confirming the conservation of lectin sequences among all legume lectins. Evidence is presented for the existence of internal duplications and/or isolectins.
