Chemical modification studies on the D-galactopyranosyl binding lectin from the mistletoe Viscum album L. 1979

P Ziska, and R Eifler, and H Franz

The role of amino, sulfhydryl, disulfide, carboxyl, phenolic, imidazole and indole groups on the agglutination of human erythrocytes by the lectin from Viscum album has been determined using specific chemical modification techniques. The results indicate that tyrosine residues participate in the hemagglutination reaction. Subunits of the lectin possess only reduced hemagglutinating ability.

D004228	Dithionitrobenzoic Acid	A standard reagent for the determination of reactive sulfhydryl groups by absorbance measurements. It is used primarily for the determination of sulfhydryl and disulfide groups in proteins. The color produced is due to the formation of a thio anion, 3-carboxyl-4-nitrothiophenolate.	5,5'-Dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic Acid),DTNB,Ellman's Reagent,5,5'-Dithiobis(nitrobenzoate),Acid, Dithionitrobenzoic,Ellman Reagent,Ellmans Reagent,Reagent, Ellman's

D005557	Formaldehyde	A highly reactive aldehyde gas formed by oxidation or incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. In solution, it has a wide range of uses: in the manufacture of resins and textiles, as a disinfectant, and as a laboratory fixative or preservative. Formaldehyde solution (formalin) is considered a hazardous compound, and its vapor toxic. (From Reynolds, Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p717)	Formalin,Formol,Methanal,Oxomethane
