Fluorimetric studies of the binding of Momordica charantia (bitter gourd) lectin with ligands.

M K Das, M I Khan, A Surolia.   

Abstract

The association constants for the binding of a series of ligands with a galactose-specific lectin from Momordica charantia (bitter gourd) has been determined through the ligand-induced quenching of protein fluorescence. Analysis of the iodide quenching suggested that there is a slight increase in the accessibility of tryptophan residues of the lectin on binding lactose.
