Abstract excerpt
Two cysteine-rich proteins of Chlamydia trachomatis are essential structural components of the unique outer membrane of the infectious elementary body. These 58,000 (outer membrane protein 2; OMP2) and 15,000 (OMP3) proteins also differ structurally and chemically between biovariants that differ...
