Alignment of 25 amino acid sequences known to contain binding sites for quinine-dependent antibodies using the Clustal W algorithm.29,30 GPIIIa residues 50, 62, and 66,12 GPIX residues 110 and 115,28 and GPIb alpha residues 283 to 29327 are known to be critical for binding of selected groups of quinine-dependent antibodies to the respective glycoproteins. Amino acids shaded darkly are identical; those shaded lightly are chemically similar. There is no significant homology between GPIIIa 45 to 69 and GPIX 99 to 123 (alignment score, −26). However, the alignment score between GPIIIa 45 to 69 and GPIb alpha 276 to 300 is 47, approximately 30% of the maximum score possible (2 sequences identical).
