Figure 4.
(a) The ELS4 TCR crumples the EPLP peptide. Non-ligand-bound (yellow) and ligand-bound (orange) conformation of the EPLP peptide. ELS4 V domain, magenta; ELS4 V[ ]domain, cyan. 1 and 2 helices of ligand-bound HLA-B^*3501, gray ribbon. For clarity, the peptide is presented without the backbone details and includes only the side chains. (b,c) Peptide conformational changes with distinct views. Non-ligand-bound (yellow with black labels) and ligand-bound (orange with red labels) conformation of the EPLP peptide. HLA-B^*3501 1 and 2 helices, gray ribbon. The 2 helix is removed from b for clarity. (d) Peptide interactions with the ELS4 TCR.
