Abstract:
A lectin from the haemolymph clam was purified by molecular sieving on sephadex- G75 column. The products have a high purity. The purity of lectin was assessed by SDS polyacrylamide gel. Two doublets band of apparent molecular weights of respectively about 14,000-17,000 and 20,000-23,000 Dalton were revealed upon staining with Coomassie blue. Optimum-pH of the lectin from the clams is pH 6,5-7,0 and 8,5-9,0. The lectins of the clams had very different specificity for hydratecarbons and glucoproteins
