Figure 1: Immunobioinformatic Analysis of MERS-Cov Spike (S) Protein (top) Hamming Distance (D); (bottom) Predicted B-cell epitope score (Bepipred Score). Results for the Receptor Binding Domain (RBD) are in red; results for the other regions of the S protein are in black. Light blue circles are displayed at the local maxima of the D plot so that the discrete D values at contiguous amino acid positions 1158, 1159 would be discernible. Bepipred Scores are shown only for values above the recommended cutoff (0.350).
