Metal-binding sites of concanavalin A and their role in the binding of alpha-methyl d-glucopyranoside

A J Kalb et al. Biochem J. 1968 Oct.

Abstract

Binding of a transition metal ion to specific sites in concanavalin A induces the formation of specific Ca(2+) ion-binding sites. Sites for binding alpha-methyl d-glucopyranoside exist only when a transition metal ion and Ca(2+) ion are bound.
