title: [Predication of secondary structures and epitopes of fusion protein pp150/MDBP].
abstract: The secondary structures of fusion protein pp150/MDBP, including alpha-helix, beta-sheet, turn regions, were analyzed by Garnier-Robson's and Chou-Fasman's methods; the antigenic epitopes of B cells were analysed by using hydrophilicity plot. The results showed that the fusion protein pp150/MDBP might have less alpha-helix, but be rich in beta-sheet and turn regions. The epitopes recognized by B cells may be at 7-56 amino acid residues or adjacent to 137-192 amino acid residues.
