title: [Molecular organization of lectins].
abstract: The review includes the data about structural organization of lectins from plants, bacteria, and animals. Localization and homology of domains responsible of carbohydrate binding, cation metals binding, lipid or hydrophobic substances binding, signal peptides, and other type of domains are described. Families and superfamilies of lectins according to their similarity in primary structure are discussed.
