3D ribbon models for HLA-DQ protein

Molecular structure of the extracellular region of HLA-DQ molecule displaying the peptide binding groove along with the associated amino acid residues that totally accounted for the observed signal in the MHC class II region in European and African ancestry groups. The Protein Data Bank: 1jk8 was used to generate the 3D structures HLA-DQ using PyMOL (The PyMOL Molecular Graphics System, v.2.0 Schrödinger, LLC). Abbreviations: Pro, proline; Leu, leucine.
