Linear peptides that mimic structural epitopes for antibody assays

Abstract: A method including identifying one or more structures in adjacent sequences of one or more proteins that can be mimicked by a peptide; and assembling a peptide that mimics the one or more secondary structures. A method including assembling epitopes of linked pairs of discontiguous peptide subsequences that mimic one or more structures in sequences of a protein; and assaying antibodies against the epitopes.
