Use of synthetic peptides in characterization of microbial adhesins.
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.
