TLDR
The results provide a basis for understanding some of the potential structural effects of somatic hypermutation on antigen-antibody binding in those cases where the mutation in the antibody occurs at antigen-contacting residues, and demonstrate the importance of structural context in evaluating the effect of amino acid substitutions on protein structure and function.

Anatomy of the antibody molecule

TL;DR: The structures of the various regions of an antibody molecule are analysed and correlated with biological function and potential applications are detailed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactions of protein antigens with antibodies.

TL;DR: There are now several crystal structures of antibody Fab fragments complexed to their protein antigens, with good shape complementarity between the interacting surfaces and reasonable juxtapositions of polar residues so as to permit hydrogen-bond formation.

Influenza virus neuraminidase: structure, antibodies, and inhibitors.

Peter M. Colman
- 01 Oct 1994 - 
TL;DR: The determination of the 3‐dimensional structure of the influenza virus neuraminidase in 1983 has served as a platform for understanding interactions between antibodies and protein antigens, for investigating antigenic variation in influenza viruses, and for devising new inhibitors of the enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antibody-antigen interactions

TL;DR: The structures of several free and bound Fabs show that induced-fit mechanisms best describe the antibody-antigen recognition process and affects the prediction, engineering and design of antibody combining sites.

The foreign antigen binding site and T cell recognition regions of class I histocompatibility antigens

TL;DR: Most of the polymorphic amino acids of the class I histocompatibility antigen, HLA-A2, are clustered on top of the molecule in a large groove identified as the recognition site for processed foreign antigens.

Deciphering the message in protein sequences: tolerance to amino acid substitutions

TL;DR: Comparison of different sequences with similar messages can reveal key features of the code and improve understanding of how a protein folds and how it performs its function.

A graphics model building and refinement system for macromolecules

TL;DR: A model building and refinement system is described for use with a Vector General 3400 display that has been used to assist in difference Fourier map interpretation at medium and high resolution, and to build a protein molecule into a multiple isomorphous replacement phased electron density map.

Three-dimensional structure of an antigen-antibody complex at 2.8 A resolution

TL;DR: The 2.8 A resolution three-dimensional structure of a complex between an antigen (lysozyme) and the Fab fragment from a monoclonal antibody against lysozyme has been determined and refined by x-ray crystallographic techniques.
