متن کاملTopological analysis of the functional mimicry between a peptide and a carbohydrate moiety.
The shared surface topology of two chemically dissimilar but functionally equivalent molecular structures has been analyzed. A carbohydrate moiety (alpha-D-mannopyranoside) and a peptide molecule (DVFYPYPYASGS) bind to concanavalin A at a common binding site. The cross-reactivity of the polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) was used for understanding the topological relationship between these two indepe...

today, information technology and computers are indispensable tools of any profession and translation technologies have become an indispensable part of translator’s workstation. with the increasing demands for high productivity and speed as well as consistency and with the rise of new demands for translation and localization, it is necessary for translators to be familiar with market demands an...
Structural basis of peptide-carbohydrate mimicry in an antibody-combining site.
The structure of a complex between the Fab fragment of the antibody (SYA/J6) specific for the cell surface O-antigen polysaccharide of the pathogen Shigella flexneri Y and an octapeptide (Met-Asp-Trp-Asn-Met-His-Ala-Ala), a functional mimic of the O-antigen, has been determined at 1.8-A resolution. Comparison of the structure with that of the complex with the pentasaccharide antigen [-->2)-alph...
متن کاملStructural basis of antigen mimicry in a clinically relevant melanoma antigen system.
Although mimics of human tumor antigens are effective immunogens to overcome host unresponsiveness to the nominal antigen, the structural basis of this mimicry remains poorly defined. Therefore, in this study we have characterized the structural basis of the human high molecular weight-melanoma-associated antigen (HMW-MAA) mimicry by the mouse anti-idiotypic (anti-id) monoclonal antibody (mAb) ...
