Investigating the importance of surface exposed loops in the gonococcal HpuB transporter for hemoglobin binding and utilization

2023-10-30

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Neisseria gonorrhoeae is the etiological agent of the sexually-transmitted infection gonorrhea and a global health challenge since no protective immunity results from infection and far fewer treatment options are available with increasing antimicrobial resistance. With no efficacious vaccines, researchers are exploring new targets for vaccine development and innovative therapeutics. The outer me...
