| Description | The contribution is focused on few examples where a combination of experimental methods (isothermal titration microcalorimetry, surface plasmon resonance, X-ray crystallography) with computational approaches can bring a significant profit for better understanding of protein-carbohydrate interactions on molecular level. Insight into structure correlation with function analysis of high-affinity lectins allows for construction of carbohydrate-binding proteins with tuned affinity and specificity for biotechnology and bioanalytical purposes. |
