The crystal structures of ligand-free AAL and its complex with lactose have been determined."

"The AAL structure shows a dimeric organization, and each protomer adopts a prototype galectin fold. To identify the structural determinants for antitumor effects arising from the apoptosis-inducing activity of AAL, 11 mutants were prepared and subjected to comprehensive investigations covering oligomerization detection, carbohydrate binding...
