Abstract

Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins known for their ability to initiate biological processes through specific interactions with sugar residues. This paper explores the initial stages of lectin activity, focusing on the binding mechanism between lectins and mannose residues present on bacterial surfaces. The study elucidates the significance of these interactions in various biological contexts, highlighting potential applications in medicine and biotechnology. By understanding how lectins recognize and bind to mannose on bacteria, new insights into antimicrobial strategies and therapeutic interventions can be achieved.
