Design of a specific peptide against phenolic glycolipid-1 from Mycobacterium leprae and its implications in leprosy bacilli entry
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of Hansen’s disease, causes neural damage through the specific interaction between the external phenolic glycolipid-1 (PGL-1) and laminin subunit alpha-2 (LAMA2) from Schwann cells. OBJECTIVE: To design a LAMA2-based peptide that targets PGL-1 fr...
