FV STRUCTURE OF THE IGE SPE-7 IN COMPLEX WITH ACENAPHTHENEQUINONE
OverviewOverview
A single antibody was shown to adopt different binding-site conformations, and thereby bind unrelated antigens. Analysis by both x-ray, crystallography and pre-steady-state kinetics revealed an equilibrium, between different preexisting isomers, one of which possessed a, promiscuous, low-affinity binding site for aromatic ligands, including the, immunizing hapten. A subsequent induced-fit isomerization led to, high-affinity complexes with a deep and narrow binding site. A protein, antigen identified by repertoire selection made use of an unrelated, antibody isomer with a wide, shallow binding site. Conformational, diversity, whereby one sequence adopts multiple structures and multiple, functions, can increase the effective size of the antibody repertoire but, may also lead to autoimmunity ...
