A compound capable of specifically binding to pathogen EF-1&#x3b1; but not host EF-1&#x3b1;, wherein the compound binds to any part of an amino acid sequence having at least 70% sequence identity to amino acids 240-230 of SEQ ID NO:22.

Diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases through indel-differentiated proteins

Apparatus, methods, media, signals and data structures for protein sequence analysis are disclosed. A method includes identifying, from among a first group of aligned protein sequences having at least a threshold degree of alignment with a first protein sequence, a second group of at least one of the aligned sequences having at least one insertion or deletion ('indel') relative to the first protein sequence satisfying a predefined condition. The apparatus may include a processor circuit configured to carry out the method.
