GLUCAN-BINDING PROTEINS, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

Polypeptides with specific binding affinity for glucan - especially the glucan-binding domain of glycosyl transferase enzyme - is utilised in a composition for oral care. The polypeptide may block the binding sites in dental plaque where glycosyl transferase would bind and generate more plaque, or it may be conjugated to - and provide targeted delivery of - an antiplaque or antistain agent.
