Abstract
Saturation transfer difference (STD) NMR spectroscopy was used to study the interaction of the lectin Vicia villosa (VVLB4) with α-d-GalNAc glycosylated β3-peptides. The data were compared to those obtained with the monosaccharides d-Gal, d-GalNAc, and d-Glc as well as with those obtained with the Tn antigen α-glycopeptide (d-GalNAc-α-O-Ser/Thr), molecule naturally recognized by V. villosa. Evidence that the lectin also recognizes glycosylated β3-peptides and has close contact with both the sugar and amino acid moieties was obtained.
