Abstract excerpt
Analysis of peptide binding to a set of HLA-DR alleles has allowed the proteins to be segregated into functional subsets, depending on the amino acids at positions 57 and 86 of the beta-chain. DR proteins with glycine at 86 beta and aspartic acid at 57 beta bound a simplified peptide with significantly lower IC50 values than alleles that did not have this combination of amino acids. The size of the amino acid at...
