Abstract:
The characterization of microbial adhesins is greatly facilitated by the use of synthetic peptides. Synthetic peptides can be used to identify specific antigenic epitopes, to delineate receptor-binding domain of adhesins, and to facilitate the characterization of the adhesin, and they allow for a direct examination of structure-binding relationships.
