Chronic Beryllium Disease: Revealing the Role of Beryllium Ion and Small Peptides Binding to HLA-DP2
Figure 3
The HLA-DP2 binding pocket in complex with the crystallized natural peptide of 15 residues.
The 10 residues of the peptide used as a cutting template are shown in red with important residues having extended structure. The removed residues are in yellow. Key residues in HLA-DP2 are shown in green; the aspartic acid is labeled as ASP and the three glutamic acid residues are labeled as GLU Pocket.
