Molecular mimicry or structural mimicry?

Fred C Westall.   

Abstract

"Molecular mimicry" should be changed to "structural mimicry". The immune system recognizes shapes--three-dimensional shapes--not sequences. For two sequences to act biologically similar they must possess similar three-dimensional structures.
