FIG. 2. Peptide electron density and differential conformations in the HLA-B27 binding groove. A, electron density map for the s10R peptide (F[o] - F[c] omit map, contoured at 3 , for the final model with the peptide omitted from map calculation). Superimposition of peptide binding grooves of HLA-B27 protein complexes in the top (B) and side view (C) orientation, with the C backbone conformation for s10R (red), m9 (blue, from B^*2709·m9, PDB entry 1k5n [PDB] ; cyan, from B^*2705·m9, PDB entry 1jge [PDB] ), and ARA[7] (yellow, B^*2705·ARA[7], PDB entry 1hsa [PDB] ), illustrating the stronger bulging of s10R out of the binding groove. In C, helix 2 is omitted for clarity.
