Conformational epitope matching and prediction based on protein surface spiral features

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A conformational epitope (CE) is composed of neighboring amino acid residues located on an antigenic protein surface structure. CEs bind their complementary paratopes in B-cell receptors and/or antibodies. An effective and efficient prediction tool for CE analysis is critical for the development of immunology-related applications, such as vaccine design and disease diagnosis. RESULTS: We propose a...
