D-α-Methyl DOPA
D-α-Methyl DOPA is an inhibitor of the binding of DQ8 peptide to MHC class II molecules. D-α-Methyl DOPA occupies a pocket along the DQ8 peptide binding groove. D-α-Methyl DOPA inhibits the binding of a DQ8 peptide to an MHC class II molecule for presentation to CD4+ T cells, thereby slowing the development or progression of type 1 diabete or celiac disease[1].
