Abstract excerpt
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules bind endogenously synthesized peptides for presentation to cytotoxic T-cells. The human class I molecule HLA-B27 consists of a trimolecular complex containing the HLA-B27 heavy chain, a peptide that is usually nine amino acid residues (aa) long, and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2m). The key interactions for peptide selectivity are between Glu-45, which forms...
