Abstract:
Amb A 6 allergen of Ambrosia artemisiifolia is a ragweed allergen (a principle cause
of late summer hayfever in North America and Europe) (Hiller et al. 1998). The
weed has recently become spreading as a neophyte in Europe, while climate change
may also affect the growth of the plant and additionally may also influence pollen
allergenicity (Kelish et al. 2014). In Ukraine, the number of diseases caused by
this allergen has recently increases. The three-dimensional structure of Amb A 6
allergen is undescribed.
The aim of our study was to modulate of three-dimensional structure and search
of folding-analoges of AMB A 6 allergen of A. artemisiifolia.
