Value of eight-amino-acid matches in predicting the allergenicity status of proteins: an empirical bioinformatic investigation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The use of biotechnological techniques to introduce novel proteins into food crops (transgenic or GM crops) has motivated investigation into the properties of proteins that favor their potential to elicit allergic reactions. As part of the allergenicity assessmen...
