Structure-based minimization of a high-mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) B box peptide uncouples anti-NETotic activity and anti-biofilm function [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionWe previously showed that human HMGB1 has anti-biofilm activity localized to a 97-amino-acid B-Box-derived peptide (mB Box-97), engineered with a C106S mutation to reduce HMGB1’s proinflammatory properties while retaining anti-biofilm ...
