Peptidoglycan microarray as a novel tool to explore protein–ligand recognition
16 Jan 2016
Abstract excerpt
Peptidoglycan is a giant bag-shaped molecule essential for bacterial cell shape and resistance to osmotic stresses. The activity of a large number of bacterial surface proteins involved in cell growth and division requires binding to this macromolecule. Recognition of peptidoglycan by immune effectors is also crucial for the establishment of the immune response against pathogens. The availability of pure and...
