The figure below is a fluorescence readout from a lectin array.What can be deduced from B?
A) There is no interaction between the glycan and the lectin in the well.
B) There is a glycan-lectin interaction in the well.
C) There is an interaction, but there is no way to determine the species that are interacting.
D) Glycan cleavage from the glycoconjugate has been achieved.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fluorescence readout from a lectin array is used to detect the interaction between the glycan and the lectin in the well. In this case, the figure shows a clear peak, indicating that there is a glycan-lectin interaction in the well. Therefore, choice B is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect as there is a clear signal. Option C is also wrong because the lectin- glycan interaction can be determined based on the signal intensity. Option D is irrelevant to the given figure.
