Abstract

In this study, interactions of selected monosaccharides with the Pseudomonas aeruginosa Lectin II (PA-IIL) are analyzed in detail. An interesting feature of the PA-IIL binding is that the monosaccharide is interacting via two calcium ions and the binding is unusually strong for protein–saccharide interaction. We have used Molecular Mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann Surface Area (MM/PBSA) and normal mode analysis to calculate the free energy of binding. The impact of intramolecular hydrogen bond network for the lectin/monosaccharide interaction is also analyzed.
