De novo design of mini-protein binders broadly neutralizing Clostridioides difficile toxin B variants

Abstract Clostridioides difficile toxin B (TcdB) is the key virulence factor accounting for C. difficile infection-associated symptoms. Effectively neutralizing different TcdB variants with a universal solution poses a significant challenge. Here we present the de novo design and characterization of...
