Abstract excerpt
Polyclonal antibodies were raised against peptides derived from an active-site sequence common to the family of mutans streptococcal glucosyltransferases (GTFs). The sequence contains an aspartic acid residue that functions in formation of the enzyme transition state in catalysis. Two GTFs were targeted with similar but not identical sequences in this region: one that synthesizes an alpha-1,3-linked...
