Abstract excerpt
We have employed the recently described crystallohydrodynamic approach to compare the time-averaged domain orientation of human chimeric IgG3wt (wild-type) and IgG4wt as well as two hinge mutants of IgG3 and an IgG4S331P (mutation from serine to proline at position 331, EU numbering) mutant of IgG4. The approach involves combination of the known shape of the Fab and Fc regions from crystallography with...
