Abstract
The capacity of the lectins ofDatura innoxia for being digested by proteases with various specificities and pH optima has been studied. Under the conditions of limited proteolysis the hemagglutinating activity did not decrease, and the degree of hydrolysis determined from the reaction with trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid was close to zero.
