Role of Homologous Fc Fragment in the Potency and Efficacy of Anti‐Botulinum Antibody Preparations
Toxins, 2017 The only approved treatment for botulism relies on passive immunity which is mostly based on antibody preparations collected from hyper‐immune horses. The IgG Fc fragment is commonly removed from these heterologous preparations to reduce the incidence of

Diverse genetic contexts of HicA toxin domains propose a role in anti-phage defense
mBioToxin–antitoxin (TA) modules are prevalent in prokaryotic genomes, often in substantial numbers. For instance, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome alone harbors close to 100 TA modules, half of which belong to a singular type.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The HADDOCK team participated in CAPRI rounds 47–55 as server, manual predictor, and scorers. Throughout these CAPRI rounds, we used a plethora of computational strategies to predict the structure of protein complexes. Of the 10 targets comprising 24 interfaces, we achieved acceptable or better models for 3 targets in the human category and 1 ...
