Thermodynamic analysis of an antibody functional epitope
1 Jul 1993
Abstract excerpt
We have probed the relative contribution of polar and nonpolar interactions to antibody-antigen interaction by measuring the effect of single amino acid substitutions in an humanized anti-p185HER2 antibody (hu4D5-5) on the thermodynamics of antigen binding. First we mapped the functional epitope by complete alanine-scan mutagenesis of the antibody complementarity-determining region (CDR). Four residues, H91 in VL...
