Abstract excerpt
We have used molecular modeling to design substitutions in an invariant chain-derived peptide (CLIP), so as to alter the stability of its complex with class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) proteins. We sought first to test whether CLIP binds in the same way to different class II MHC proteins. We designed destabilizing substitutions of two residues (Met 91 and Met 99) previously predicted to act as the...
