Structural Homology and Binding Ability Comparisons of Epitope Pair Candidates for Molecular Mimicry Triggering of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract Background Molecular mimicry is the process by which foreign peptides contain epitopes similar to self-peptides, potentially inducing autoimmune responses. Identifying potential molecular mimics and studying their properties is key to understanding the onset of autoimmun...
