This study characterized the binding mechanisms of lectin cMoL (from Moringa oleifera seeds) to carbohydrates using spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (MD). The interaction with was studied by evaluating fluorescence emission after titration glucose or galactose (2.0-11 mM). Stern-Volmer constant (Ksv), (Ka), Gibbs free energy (∆G), Hill coefficient were calculated. After urea-induced denaturation cMoL, evaluations performed spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), hemagglutinating activity...
This work reports the in vivo investigation of telluride cadmium quantum dots (CdTe QDs) conjugated to plant lectins from Schinus terebinthifolia (SteLL) and Punica granatum (PgTeL) for acute toxicity genotoxicity healthy mice 24-h biodistribution sarcoma 180-bearing animals. Acute data indicated their safety, despite some histopathological alterations. Comet assay revealed that QDs-PgTeL group presented a higher damage index frequency than negative control. The micronucleus test did not...
Moringa oleifera seeds are used globally as a treatment for water and contain the lectins cMoL WSMoL, which display coagulant activity. In this study, we sought to determine cytotoxicity genotoxicity of M. seed extract (SE), prepared with same procedure that people use treating water, well in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Cell viability was assessed using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, while evaluated comet cell nucleoids...
