Article Abstract
Peptide-mediated interactions are of primordial importance to the cell, and the structure of such interaction provides an important starting point for their further characterization. In many cases, the structure of the peptide-protein complex has not been solved by experiment, and modeling tools need to be applied to generate structural models of the interaction. PeptiMap is a protocol that identifies the peptide-binding site when only the structure of the receptor is known, but no information about where the peptide binds is available. This is achieved by mapping the surface for solvents to identify ligand-binding sites, similar in approach to ANCHORMAP in which amino acids are mapped. Peptimap is a free open access web-based server. It can be accessed at http://peptimap.cluspro.org .

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a key role in allergic reactions and parasitic infections. Accurate detection of IgE is essential for the diagnosis and management of allergic diseases. Traditional detection methods, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioallergosorbent tests (RASTs), depend on complex antibody production processes.

Background: Co-trimoxazole is a leading global cause of severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (SCAR) including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Co-trimoxazole-induced SCAR are associated with HLA class I alleles including HLA-B*13:01 and HLA-B*38:02 in Southeast Asian (SEA) populations. However, the global generalizability of these associations is unknown but critical for population-appropriate risk stratification and diagnosis.

Since the outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19), numerous T-cell epitopes in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) proteome have been reported. However, most of the identified CD8 T-cell epitopes have been restricted primarily by HLA-A allotypes. The epitopes restricted by HLA-B and HLA-C allotypes are limited.
