Crystal Structure of glucansucrase from Streptococcus mutans
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21354427
Function
[GTFC_STRMU] Production of extracellular glucans, that are thought to play a key role in the development of the dental plaque because of their ability to adhere to smooth surfaces and mediate the aggregation of bacterial cells and food debris.
