An engineered protein-based submicromolar competitive inhibitor of the Staphylococcus aureus virulence factor aureolysin
Aureolysin, a secreted metallopeptidase (MP) from the thermolysin family, functions as a major virulence factor in Staphylococcus aureus. No specific aureolysin inhibitors have yet been described, making this an important target for the development of novel antimicrobial drugs in times of rampant an...
