Structure of a key adhesin-exopolysaccharide interaction provides insights into matrix assembly in Vibrio cholerae biofilms
The structure reveals for the first time the interaction between a biofilm exopolysaccharide and matrix protein, as well as insights into conformational changes of exopolysaccharide induced by this binding, and provides a generalizable approach for studying the biophysical and biochemical properties of carbohydrate-dependent biofilm assembly.
