Function(s) and Biological Relevance

is a matrix protein found in the bacteria biofilm matrix of Vibrio Cholerae. Vibrio Cholerae is a bacteria that is responsible for the disease Cholera. Cholera is a disease typically found in infectious water that rids the body of the necessary amount of liquids it needs via terrible diarrhea. If left untreated, this disease could kill a human.

Broader Implications

Understanding the structures of what makes up Vibrio Cholerae would be beneficial to treating the disease. Biofilms are extremely difficult to get rid of. Being able to break up the biofilm naturally and easily lead to less complications and less people dying from losing so much liquid.

Structural highlights and structure-function relationships

There are many key structures one can highlight for Bap1, such as its two different sized connected domains, 8-bladed β-propeller region, active site location outside of the central cavity, and carbohydrate binding site.
