Adam Braunschweig opened the discussion of the paper by Jeffrey Gildersleeve: In your contribution to this Discussion, you have shown that the avidity between protein and glycan is sensitively dependent upon glycan–glycan spacing, linker composition, linker length, etc. As a result, different microarrays produce different results for speci city and avidity towards a particular lectin. Given this inherent complexity, is there a “true value” for avidity that re ects most accurately how this recognition may be occurring in biology?Jeff Gildersleeve answered: This is an interesting consideration. A glycan determinant can be present in varying contexts in biology. The avidity will depend on the structure of the determinant as well as the presentation. For example, a lectin might have four binding sites. In some settings, the lectin might only be able to engage two binding sites. In other settings, the lectin might bind glycans using all four of its binding sties. These could both be biologically relevant, but the avidities could be quite different. So, there are likely many “true values” for avidity for each glycan determinant. When connecting apparent Kd values measured on a glycan microarray to biological systems, I think of it as potential–“in the right context, this lectin could bind with an apparent Kd value of X to this glycan”. It has the potential to bind, but it will depend on other factors, such as the nature of the carrier chain and the spacing and orientation of the glycans.
