Abstract:The genomes of the bacteria Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus, which cause dental caries, currently have been fully sequenced. However, the secondary and tertiary structures of the full-size surface proteins of these microorganisms, by which they attach to the surface of teeth covered with saliva, have not been instrumentally determined at the moment. There are a number of experimental studies on the use of these proteins in the process of developing a dental caries vaccine. However, there is cur… Show more
