title: Molecular definition and identification of new proteins of Mycobacterium leprae.
abstract: This report describes N-terminal group analysis of six new proteins isolated from in vivo-grown Mycobacterium leprae, three of which correspond to products of the cysA, ahpC, and rpIL genes, which were recently defined through the M. leprae genome project and which encode a putative sulfate sulfurtransferase, an antioxidant enzyme, and the L7/L12 ribosomal protein, respectively.
