T-cell receptors concentrate diversity in the third hypervariable region. For alpha:beta T-cell receptors, sequence diversity is heavily concentrated at the junctions formed by the rearrangement of gene segments during the generation of the expressed Va and Vb regions. The result of this organization is to position the most variable part of the T-cell receptor over a certain region of the ligand recognized by this receptor. Which region (outlined in red in figure below) indicates this part of the ligand recognized by the T-cell receptor?
