The Isolation of Carbohydrate-binding Peptide from Scarlet Runner Bean Lectin.
The carbohydrate-binding peptide fragment of scarlet runner bean (Phaseolus coccineus var. rubronanus) lectin has been prepared by trypsin digestion. The carbohydrate-binding peptide was isolated from digested solution by affinity chromatography on thyroglobulin-Sepharose column, Bio-Gel P-4 gel filtration column and reverse phase HPLC on C-8 column. The fraction of peak I from HPLC which bound specifically with Man(8)GlcNAc(2) was demonstrated by using dot blot technique with [(3)H]- Man(8)GlcNAc(2).
