“…cHABPs having short, compact or right-handed a-helical structure with 1.5 A per residue, 3.6 residues per pitch (~12 A between the 9 residues the PBR can accommodate), inter-atomic H-bonds and f = -60 , -90 , y = -40 , -60 angle limits did not fit into the HLA-DRb1*PBR groove. Furthermore, cHABPs having long, extended structure b-sheets, folded b-turns (having 2 residues per turn and H-bonds between i + 1 and i + 2) or random structures were too long or had inadequate structure to fit into the HLA-DRb1*PBR [81, [100][101][102]. It has been reported that endogenous or variable antigenic peptides associated with HLA-DRb* alleles adopt a PPII L conformation and become firmly anchored into their PBR [100].…”
