Abstract excerpt
The molecular structure of protein and epitope mapping strategies are required to engineer the epitopes of a protein. In the present study, IgE binding regions of osmotin were identified and mutated to obtain hypoallergenic variant. The three dimensional (3-D) model of osmotin obtained by homology modeling comprised of a characteristic thaumatin-like fold. This model was used to predict IgE binding regions of...
