Finding Semirigid Domains in Biomolecules by Clustering Pair-Distance Variations

Figure 2

Visualisation of the D156L mutation in the MHC molecule. MHC molecules (gray) HLA-B^∗44:02 (left), and HLA-B^∗44:03 (right) together with ABCD3 peptide (violet) are shown. The amino acids comprising the D/L polymorphisms at position 156 are shown in surface representation (red⋯oxygen, blue⋯nitrogen, turquoise⋯carbon, white⋯hydrogen). Parts of the ABCD3 peptide closely interact with residue 156(D/L).
