Length-independent structural similarities enrich the antibody CDR canonical class model
Complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) are antibody loops that make up the antigen binding site. Here, we show that all CDR types have structurally similar loops of different lengths. Based on these findings, we created length-independent canonical classes for the non-H3 CDRs. Our length variable structural clusters show strong sequence patterns suggesting either that they evolved from the ...
متن کاملPyIgClassify: a database of antibody CDR structural classifications
Classification of the structures of the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) of antibodies is critically important for antibody structure prediction and computational design. We have previously performed a clustering of antibody CDR conformations and defined a systematic nomenclature consisting of the CDR, length and an integer starting from the largest to the smallest cluster in the data...
متن کاملThe origin of CDR H3 structural diversity.
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...
متن کاملCanonical structures of short CDR-L3 in antibodies
Despite sequence diversity, five out of six hypervariable loops in antibodies assume a limited number of conformations called canonical structures. Their correct identification is essential for successful prediction of antibody structure. This in turn requires regular updates of the classification of canonical structures to match the expanding experimental database. Antibodies with the eight-re...
