Functional alteration of a dimeric insecticidal lectin to a monomeric antifungal protein correlated to its oligomeric status.
<h4>Background</h4>Allium sativum leaf agglutinin (ASAL) is a 25-kDa homodimeric, insecticidal, mannose binding lectin whose subunits are assembled by the C-terminal exchange process. An attempt was made to convert dimeric ASAL into a monomeric form to correlate the relevance of quaterna...
