The model presented is B31 strain (residues 38-201), which is also known as oMG A. This is one of four invasive oMGs that are responsible for systematic Lyme disease. In crystal structure, OspC exists as a dimer with the coordination of divalent ion, which is modeled as a magnesium ion. Each subunit is predominantly helical, consisting of five parallel
