Variations in the electrostatic landscape of class II human leukocyte antigen molecule induced by modifications in the myelin basic protein peptide: a theoretical approach.

The receptor-ligand interactions involved in the formation of the complex between Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex molecules and antigenic peptides, which are essential for establishing an adaptive immunological response, were analyzed in the Class II Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)--Myelin B...

description The receptor-ligand interactions involved in the formation of the complex between Class II Major Histocompatibility Complex molecules and antigenic peptides, which are essential for establishing an adaptive immunological response, were analyzed in the Class II Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)--Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) peptide complex (HLA-DRbeta1*1501-MBP) using a multipolar molecular electrostatic potential approach.
