Abstract excerpt
PG16 is a broadly neutralizing antibody to the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A crystal structure of PG16 revealed that the unusually long 28-residue complementarity determining region (CDR) H3 forms a unique subdomain, referred to as a "hammerhead", that directly contacts the antigen. The hammerhead apparently governs the function of PG16 while a previous experimental assay showed that the mutation of...
