Fusobacterium nucleatumEnvelope Protein FomA Is Immunogenic and Binds to the Salivary Statherin-Derived Peptide [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2010 ABSTRACTWe have previously shown that one of the minimal active regions of statherin, a human salivary protein, for binding toFusobacterium nucleatumis a YQPVPE amino acid sequence. In this study, we identified the FomA protein ofF. nucleatum, which is responsible for binding to the statherin-derived YQPVPE peptide.

Food Chemistry, 2021 Throughout the apple juice and cider making process, polyphenols undergo enzymatic oxidation which generates a great variety of polyphenol oxidation products. Since 5'-O-Caffeoylquinic acid (CQA) is one of the major phenolic compounds and the preferential substrate for polyphenoloxidase in apple juice, its oxidation leads to the formation of newly ...

Acquired salivary pellicle and oral diseases: A literature review
Journal of Dental Sciences, 2021 As soon as saliva contacts the teeth surface, salivary proteins adhere to the tooth surface to form acquired salivary pellicle. The formation of this acquired salivary pellicle is a dynamic and selective process of macromolecular adsorption and ...
