Gamma-phage lysin PlyG sequence-based synthetic peptides coupled with Qdot-nanocrystals are useful for developing detection methods for <it>Bacillus anthracis </it>by using its surrogates, <it>B. anthracis-Sterne </it>and <it>B. cereus-4342</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Previous reports of site-directed deletion analysis on gamma (γ)-phage lysin protein (PlyG) have demonstrated that removal of a short amino acid sequence in the C-terminal region encompassing a 10-amino acid motif (190LKMTADFILQ199)...
