spotted fever, is the cat flea Ctenocephalides felis. While cats have not been found to be infected with ...
Inadequate Reference Datasets Biased toward Short Non-epitopes Confound B-cell Epitope Prediction
(2020-04-08)
X-ray crystallography has shown that an antibody paratope typically binds 15-22 amino acids (aa) of an epitope, of which 2-5 randomly distributed amino acids contribute most of the binding energy. In contrast, researchers ...
