I was also wondering why the group is so quiet at present. There seems to
be very little interaction going on. With most of the posts being of the
noticeboard type. It makes me think that people may have moved to
somewhere else?

Try Lens Culinaris lectin, this is regarded as indicating fucosylated core
structures.
