Abstract
Occurrence, organization, and functioning of lectins as well as their current classifications are under investigation. Results indicate importance of symbiotic lectins for clinical microecology. Lectins and lectin-based approaches have wide perspectives for medical biotechnology. Lectin terms, relationships between lectins and enzymes are discussed.
► Current lectin classifications indicate extremely importance of lectins in nature. ► Lectin functioning as the priority principle for modern lectin classifications. ► Importance of symbiotic lectins as metabolism organizers for clinical microecology. ► Lectin-based approaches as perspectives of medical biotechnology. ► Adequate scientific understanding of lectin terms is needed.
