Determinants of the Peptide-induced Conformational Change in the Human Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex Protein HLA-DR1
1 Jan 2000
Abstract excerpt
The human class II major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-DR1 has been shown previously to undergo a distinct conformational change from an open to a compact form upon binding peptide. To investigate the role of peptide in triggering the conformational change, the minimal requirements for inducing the compact conformation were determined. Peptides as short as two and four residues, which occupy only a small...
