Self-Assembly of a Tetrahedral Lectin into Predesigned Diamondlike Protein Crystals

N Dotan et al. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 1999 Aug.

Abstract

Binding sites analogous to those of sp(3) carbon are presented by concanavalin A. This lectin has now been cross-linked with a bismannopyranoside which contains the C(2) spacer required to form the computer-modeled diamondlike three-dimensional protein lattice shown in the picture.
