Linear epitope

Segment of a molecule which antibodies recognize by its linear structure

In immunology, a linear epitope is an epitope—a binding site on an antigen—that is recognized by antibodies by its linear sequence of amino acids. In contrast, most antibodies recognize a conformational epitope that has a specific three-dimensional shape.
