 Comments:

JIM5 binds to a sparsely methylated homogalacturonan epitope found in the walls of diverse plant species. The epitope structure listed above is the most effective structure identified to date. JIM5 also binds to unesterified homogalacturonan.

JIM5 can also be obtained from Plant Probes (http://www.plantprobes.co.uk/).
