Abstract

Current examples of inter- and intra-molecular relationships and directions in co-functioning lectins and enzymes are described and ordered. Regularities of such relationships are accented and used as additional criteria of the “true” lectins and lectinic enzymes. The data indicate importance and prospects of lectin-enzyme/ enzyme-lectin relationships (enzyme-biotics as lectins, lectin-biotics as enzymes, lectin-enzyme complexes and assemblies with regulated specificities) in molecular and clinical cell biology, microbiology, medical biotechnology and industry. Lectin-enzyme relationships give expanded platform/basis for further study and constructing advanced multi-functional agents influencing interactome of organism and supporting innovations in medicine and biotechnology.
