| | The discovery of the structure of CbpA was a two-step process that included studies of how this protein works, followed by determination of its actual structure using powerful laboratory tools. | | | pneumoniae is the only bacterium known to use CbpA to invade human cells by binding to pIgR, according to Richard W.
