B-cell epitope discovery: The first protein flexibility-based algorithm-Zika virus conserved epitope demonstration.

Antibody-antigen interaction-at antigenic local environments called B-cell epitopes-is a prominent mechanism for neutralization of infection. Effective mimicry, and display, of B-cell epitopes is key to vaccine design. Here, a physical approach is evaluated for the discovery of epitopes which evolve...
