Immunoinformatic Docking Approach for the Analysis of KIR3DL1/HLA-B Interaction
Figure 2
HLA-B and KIR3DL1*001 interaction binding site. Here is shown the interaction of KIR3DL1*001 with HLA-B and the most significant differences in the contact surface between Bw4 and Bw6 epitope ((a) and (b) resp.). In green KIR3DL1, in grey HLA-B and in orange the peptide are shown. For each amino acid residue in the site of interaction Van Deer Walls surface was calculated and amino acid residues responsible for the contact surface are named and shown with the parent color as ball sticks.
