It is reported that this derivative has properties different from natural lectins. Evidence suggests that succinylated wheat germ lectins do not bind to sialic acid residues as the natural form does, but retain specificity for n-acetylglucosamine. Luciferin labeled succinylated WGA has the appropriate amount of fluorescent dye binding to provide the best staining properties for this lectin. This conjugated substance basically does not contain unconjugated fluorescent dyes. The excitation maximum is 495nm and the emission maximum is 515nm.
