Problems with flexibility Difficult to determine entire structure Hinge flexibility Fragment Study Fragment Assemble composite
Hinge Prolines
IgG: Enzyme hydrolysis
Bence Jones Light chains Simplest fragments to isolate Easily crystallized Mimics Fab
Bence Jones Monomer
Bence Jones Dimer
Immunoglobulin fold Signature structure common to all immunoglobulins 2 beta sheets held by disulfide bond Variations in detailed structure set specificity
Ig Fold: Variable domains
Ig fold: Constant domains
Antigen Binding Site
Structure of IgG
Ig Fold: hypervariable regions
Vitamin K bound to IgG

Antibody Structure: Internal movement
Antigen in Antibody
Hypervariable Regions Discovery KW plots Light chains Heavy chains CDR vs HVR
Kabat & Wu Plots Why Results demonstrate details of variability of protein sequence of similar proteins Results Variability = 1.0 >> no variation Variability = 400 >> 20 different AA Number different amino acids Variability = Frequency of most common AA
