Thermodynamic and Structural Analysis of Peptide- and Allele-dependent Properties of Two HLA-B27 Subtypes Exhibiting Differential Disease Association
24 Dec 2003
Abstract excerpt
Selected HLA-B27 subtypes are associated with spondyloarthropathies, but the underlying mechanism is not understood. To explain this association in molecular terms, a comparison of peptide-dependent dynamic and structural properties of the differentially disease-associated subtypes HLA-B*2705 and HLA-B*2709 was carried out. These molecules differ only by a single amino acid at the floor of the peptide binding...
