Abstract

We have studied biochemical characterization of lectin purified from kidney bean seedling through PBS extraction, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ precipitation, and Sephadex G-100 affinity chromatography. The lectin was agglutinated by rabbit erythrocytes. This lectin analyzed by SDS-PAGE is a tetramer composed of two subunits with molecular weights of 46 and 44 kDa. The optimal temperature and thermal stability of the lectin was 30$^{\circ}C$ and 40-80$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The maximal pH of this lectin was pH 8.2.

강낭콩 유식물로부터 PBS에 의한 추출, $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ 침전, Sepadex G-100 column chromatography에 의해 lectin을 분리한 다음, 이들의 생화학적 특성으로서 분자량, 적혈구 응집반응, 열 안정성, 최적 온도 및 최적 pH를 연구하였다. 이 과정에 토끼 혈액의 적혈구를 이용하여 활성을 측정하였다. 이 lectin의 분자량은 46 kDa와 44 kDa로서, 각각 2개의 subunit를 갖는 tetramer이다. 정제된 이 lectin의 최적 반응 온도는 30$^{\circ}C$이며, $40\sim80^{\circ}C$에서 열 안정성을 보였다. 또한 이 lectin의 최적 pH는 pH 8.2이다.
