Epitopes prediction for microcystin-LR by molecular docking

Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most worldwide harmful cyanobacterial toxins. A lots of antibodies against MC-LR have been generated and characterized. However, the knowledge about the epitopes of MC-LR was still limited. The objective of this study was to analyze the epitopes of MC-LR and demo...
