[Probable epitopes of adenovirus capsid proteins]
Abstract
The hydrophilicity and flexibility patterns of two capsid proteins of type 2 human adenovirus (hexon and fiber) were obtained. Several sites with maximal hydrophilicity and flexibility were revealed; their correlation was partly established. The role of these sites in the formation of adenoviral capsid protein epitopes is discussed.
