Outer Surface Protein B (OspB) is a component


Hemoglobin

OspB Interaction with Fab of H6831

OspB consists of .

H6831 along with CB2 are a monoclonal antibodies.


H6831 appears to have a bactericidal effect on OspB in the absence of complement proteins.















Potential Catalytic Triad

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate


Proposed Mechanism



There are 3 residues that exist on the eliminated B-sheet of OspB that highly resemble the catalytic triad on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serine_protease Serine proteasoccur.
