Abstract excerpt

Bacillus anthracis causes anthrax, a lethal disease affecting humans, which has attracted attention due to its bioterrorism potential. gamma-Phage specifically infects B. anthracis, and is used for its detection. gamma-Phage lysin, PlyG, specifically lyses B. anthracis. Mutational analysis of PlyGB (PlyG binding domain; residues 156-233) indicated that positions 190-199 are necessary for binding to B. anthracis....
