<i>In Silico</i> Structural and Functional Annotation of Nine Essential Hypothetical Proteins from <i>Streptococcus pneumoniae</i>

The ability of Streptococcus pneumoniae to induce infections relies on its virulence factor machinery. A previous CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) study had identified 254 essential proteins that may be responsible towards the pathogenicity of S. pneumoniae serotype 2 strain D39. However, 39 of them we...
