Abstract The structure-function relationship of eight structurally very similarLathyrus lectins, which are two-chain lectins from theVicieae tribe, has been studied. Hemagglutination activity, inhibition of hemagglutination, glycoprotein reactivity and mitogenic activity were determined for each of the lectins. Despite the close structural resemblance, marked differences in the carbohydrate binding activity of theLathyrus lectins were recorded. These functional differences were related to small conformational changes due to minor differences in amino acid sequence of eachLathyrus lectin.
