'''Concanavalin A''' (ConA) is a carbohydrate-binding protein from jack-bean (''Canavalia ensiformis''). It binds to certain sugars and to metal. It is used to characterize glycoproteins on cell surfaces.<ref>PMID:9546043</ref> | '''Concanavalin A''' (ConA) is a carbohydrate-binding protein from jack-bean (''Canavalia ensiformis'').
