Biochemical, structural and molecular dynamics analyses of the potential virulence factor RipA from Yersinia pestis.

Biochemical, structural and molecular dynamics analyses of the potential virulence factor RipA from Yersinia pestis.

Human diseases are attributed in part to the ability of pathogens to evade the eukaryotic immune systems. A subset of these pathogens has developed mechanisms to survive in human macrophages. Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of the bubonic plague, is a predominately extracellular pathogen with t...
