From: Immunogenicity of an Eight Amino Acid Domain Shared by Fas (CD95/Apo-I) and HIV-1 gp120. I. Structural and Antigenic Analysis

Fig. 3

Structural analysis of multipeptide domains including VEINCTR-N from both gp120 and Fas, obtained by calculating values of four algorythms of each amino acid residue in relation to the relative primary sequence. The Fas domain was assessed by TSites computer analysis to show a 7 amino acid (a.a.) sequence in β-sheet conformation composed of three a.a. motifs of peptide #1 in contiguity with a portion of VEINCTR-N. Conversely, the short stretch of four β-conformed a.a. of the shared epitope was isolately expressed within the gp120 domain.
