Crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of BbCRASP-1, a complement regulator-acquiring surface protein of Borrelia burgdorferi.
Borrelia burgdorferi is the causative agent of Lyme disease. Serum-resistant strains of the pathogen are able to reduce the host's immune response to infection by recruiting fluid-phase complement regulators from the serum. B. burgdorferi complement regulator-acquiring surface protein-1 (BbCRAS...
