How does a linear epitope differ from a conformational epitope?
What will be an ideal response?
Linear epitopes are epitopes in proteins that comprise a contiguous amino acid sequence. They are also called continuous epitopes. In contrast, a conformational epitope is formed by amino acids that are brought together as a result of protein folding and are not adjacent in the protein sequence. Conformational epitopes are also known as discontinuous epitopes.
