== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
X-ray crystallographic coordinates of influenza virus N9 neuraminidase complexed with monoclonal antibodies NC41 and NC10 [Tulip et al. (1992) J. Mol. Biol. 227, 122-148] served as a starting point for calculations aimed at estimating free energy changes (delta G) of complex formation between the two antibodies and the neuraminidase. Using an empirical function incorporating hydrophobic, electrostatic, and conformational entropy effects, we estimated contributions individual neuraminidase residues make to complex formation (delta G(residue)) and compared the calculated values to experimentally measured differences in antibody binding between the wild-type and mutated neuraminidases [Nuss et al. (1993) Proteins 15, 121-132; calculations done without prior knowledge of the experimental data]. A good correspondence was found between the calculated delta G(residue) values and the mutant binding data in that side chains with large calculated delta G contributions (delta G(residue) &lt; -1 kcal/mol) lie at sites of mutation which cause a marked reduction in antibody binding, and side chains for which delta G(residue) &gt; -1 kcal/mol are sites at which a mutation does not have a marked effect on binding. Because most of the delta G(residue) &lt; -1 kcal/mol side chains also make hydrogen bonds/salt bridges with the antibody, the correspondence of the effect of antibody binding with these electrostatic interactions (18 out of 27 for NC41 and, tentatively, 5 out of 7 for NC10) is about as good as that with predicted energetic residues. All the delta G(residue) &lt; -1 kcal/mol neuraminidase side chains cluster around the most protruding surface regions and are thus spread over different epitope segments. Surprisingly, different residues were found to make the most critical contributions to the NC41 and NC10 complex stabilities despite the fact that the NC41 and NC10 antigenic epitopes overlap, having approximately 70% of surface residues in common. It is thus possible, for two different antibodies, to recognize the same protein surface in strikingly different ways. As only a fraction of the neuraminidase residues appear to make large contributions to antibody binding, the results also support the hypothesis of a "functional" epitope in antigen-antibody interactions. Positive trends between both backbone rigidity and residue accessibility in the complexed state, and contributions of these residues to binding, were also observed for the NC41 complex.
