IMGT/3D-structure-DB. Seven TR- CDR3-IMGT CDR2-IMGT ALPHA-BETA have been crystallised. Results of IMGT/V-QUEST TR 1g6r MHC-I IMGT Colliers de Perles are according to the IMGT unique numbering for V- Jmol DOMAIN. Hydrogen bonds are shown The ALPHA chain is in spacefill (the BETA as green lines. chain and MHC-I are in wireframe). Lefranc, M.-P. et al., Dev. Comp.
