The relative potencies of a wide variety of deoxygenated derivatives of the methyl glycoside of α-L-Fuc-(1 → 2)-β-D-Gal-(1 → 4)- β-D-GlcNAc (the H-type 2 human blood group related trisaccharide) for the inhibition of the binding of an artificial H-type 2 antigen by the lectin I of Ulexeuropaeus confirmed the previous evidence that the key and productive interaction involves only the three hydroxyl groups of the α-L-fucose unit, the hydroxyl at the 3-position of the β-D-galactose residue, and the nonpolar groups in their immediate environment. Except for the acetamido group and the hydroxymethyl of the β-D-Gal unit, which stay in the aqueous phase, on complex formation the remaining three hydroxyl groups appear to come to reside at or near the periphery of the combining site since their replacement by hydrogen causes relatively small changes (< ± 1 kcal/mol) in the stability of the complex (ΔG0). Relatively much larger but compensating changes occur for the enthalpy and entropy terms, and these may arise primarily from the differences in the water structure about the periphery of the combining site and the oligosaccharide both prior to and after complexation. It is proposed that steric constraints lead to an ordered state of the water molecules hydrogen-bonded to the polar groups within the cleft formed by the key region of the amphiphilic combining site. Their release to form less ordered clusters of more strongly hydrogen-bonded water molecules in bulk solution would contribute importantly to the driving force for complexation. It is demonstrated that the surface used for the binding of H-type 2-OMe by a monoclonal anti-H antibody is virtually identical to that used by the Ulex lectin. Keywords: molecular recognition, H-type 2 blood group determinant and deoxygenated derivatives, lectin I of Ulexeuropaeus, anti-H-type 2 monoclonal antibody, enthalpy–entropy compensation.

The winged bean acidic lectin (WBA II) binds the H-type 2 human blood group related trisaccharide (α-L-Fuc-(1c → 2b)-β-D-Gal-(1b → 4a)-β-D-GlcNAc-OMe, 1). Interactions that importantly contribute to the specificity of the complex formation are provided by CH2-6b, OH-4b, OH-3b, and OH-2c of 1. On the basis of the relative activities of the monodeoxy and mono-O-methyl derivatives of 1, the hydroxyl groups at the 3a, 6a, and 4c positions become located at the periphery of the combining site, whereas the CH3O-1a, NHAc-2a, and CH3-5c groups are more remote from the protein surface and fully exposed to bulk water. Whereas the WBA II lectin marginally recognizes the H-type 1 related trisaccharide (α-L-Fuc-(1c → 2b)-β-D-Gal-(1b → 3a)-β-D-GlcNAc-OMe, 23), the de-N-acetyl derivative (24) is bound 3.4 times more strongly than 1. This and other results, which are related to changes in interaction between the ligand and the apron of the combining site, are attributed to changes in hydration that lead to enthalpy–entropy compensation. In certain cases, the interactions are found to stabilize the complex.
