Abstract excerpt
Antibody complementarity determining region (CDR) H3 loops are critical for adaptive immunological functions. Although the other five CDR loops adopt predictable canonical structures, H3 conformations have proven unclassifiable, other than an unusual C-terminal "kink" present in most antibodies. To determine why the majority of H3 loops are kinked and to learn whether non-antibody proteins have loop structures...
