Abstract excerpt
The three-dimensional structure of the complex between a T cell receptor (TCR) beta chain (mouse Vbeta8.2Jbeta2.1Cbeta1) and the superantigen (SAG) staphylococcal enterotoxin C3 (SEC3) has been recently determined to 3.5 resolution. To evaluate the actual contribution of individual SAG residues to stabilizing the beta-SEC3 complex, as well as to investigate the relationship between the affinity of SAGs for TCR...
