Mechanistic insights into the structure-based design of a CspZ-targeting Lyme disease vaccine - Nature Communications
The outer surface protein CspZ is a potential vaccine candidate of Borrelia burgdorferi for Lyme disease prevention. Here, using structure-based design, the authors generate a mutant CspZ protein with...
