Abstract excerpt
The N and C termini of peptides presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are held within the peptide binding groove by a network of hydrogen bonds to conserved MHC residues. However, the published structure of the human allele HLA-B*3501 complexed with the nef octa-peptide VPLRPMTY, revealed non-standard positioning for both peptide termini. To investigate whether these deviations are...
