LfDB provides quantitative interaction data in terms of the affinity constants (K_a) of a series of lectins toward a panel of pyridylaminated (PA) glycans obtained by an automated frontal affinity chromatography with fluorescence detection (FAC-FD) system. Since the data are accurate and reliable, providing the absolute values of sugar-protein interactions, LfDB would be a valuable resource in the studies of glycan-related biology.
