Abstract

α-Galactosidase I from Vicia faba seeds binds to potato starch and sheep erythrocytes. With the aid of fluorescence microscopy and using 4-methylumbelliferyl α- D-galactoside as the substrate it has been demonstrated that the binding is via the lectin sites of the enzyme leaving catalytic sites free and detectable. The lectin site is specific for D-glucose/ D-mannose residues.
