Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Biophysical and carbohydrate binding studies have been carried out on a lectin of Spatholobus parviflorus (SPL) seeds isolated by affinity chromatography on cross-linked guar gum. It agglutinated erythrocytes of all ABO blood groups. SDS-PAGE, both in reducing and non-reducing conditions, showed two bands with MW of 29 and 31 kDa. MALDI TOF analysis revealed two peaks at 60 and 120 kDa, indicating that SPL is a hetero-dimeric tetramer. Temperature and pH stability studies revealed that SPL is a thermostable protein and its lectin activity is unaffected in the temperature range of 0-70 C. Its activity was maximal in the pH range of 7-8. Unfolding studies with different denaturants like urea and guanidine hydrochloride indicated its globular nature and the presence of tryptophan in the highly hydrophobic area, which could be correlated to the results of fluorescence spectroscopic studies. The effect of carbohydrate binding on the lectin, shown by circular dichroism spectra, indicated the changes in its secondary and tertiary structures. SPL exerted anti-fungal activity against Aspergillus sp. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
