Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as a major pathogen associated with chronic periodontitis. To extend our knowledge of post-translational protein glycosylation in P. gingivalis, a proteomic analysis involving two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis combined with carbohydrate staining and mass spectrometry was performed. Four novel glycoproteins, PGN0743, PGN0876, PGN1513 and PGN0729, in P....
