Name LfDB
Aliases Lectin Frontier DataBase
Description

Lectin Frontier DataBase (LfDB) provides quantitative interaction data in terms of the affinity constants (Ka) of a series of lectins toward a panel of pyridylaminated (PA) glycans obtained by an automated frontal affinity chromatography with fluorescence detection (FAC-FD) system (Fig. 1). Since the data are accurate and reliable, providing the absolute values of sugar-protein interactions, LfDB would be a valuable resource in the studies of glycan-related biology.(cited from the original site)
