Comparison of dimerization modes for invertebrate lectins.
Calcium ions are represented as dark spheres, and intermolecular
disulfide bridges, when present, are colored in black. A,
codakine complexed with nona-Asn. B, tunicate (P. misakiensis)
lectin TL14 complexed with galactose (50). C, sea cucumber (C.
echinata) CEL-I lectin complexed with N-acetyl-galactosamine
(53).
