Investigation on the binding specificity of Agrocybe cylindracea galectin towards α(2,6)-linked sialyllactose by molecular modeling and molecular dynamics simulations

TLDR
Analysis of the interaction patterns of the carbohydrate at the binding site of wild type and mutated lectins revealed that sialic acid contributed more to the binding when compared with other sugar units in the trisaccharide and enhanced the binding specificity of ACG towards α(2,6)-linked sialyllactose.
