| Research Abstract |
In this study, it was found that the binding site in human cellular glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(GAPDH) for P. gingivalis fimbriae exists in the same domain as in oral bacterial GAPDH. It was suggested that the peptide synthesized based on the amino acid sequence corresponding to the binding site might be applicable as an inhibitory agent against P. gingivalis colonization in oral cavity.
