The Antibody Molecule
With the burgeoning state of research in immunology, it is becoming increasingly difficult to follow the more recent studies in immunochemistry, cellular immunity, and clinical immunology. Recent volumes that have attempted to provide summaries of these fields have been, in actuality, transcripts of symposia. Despite the pains of the editors, these tomes suffer from a lack of continuity of styl...
متن کاملAffinity-matured recombinant antibody fragments analyzed by single-molecule force spectroscopy.
For many applications, antibodies need to be engineered toward maximum affinity. Strategies are in demand to especially optimize this process toward slower dissociation rates, which correlate with the (un)binding forces. Using single-molecule force spectroscopy, we have characterized three variants of a recombinant antibody single-chain Fv fragment. These variants were taken from different step...
متن کاملMeasuring the squared magnetisation of a molecule
It is proposed to shoot a molecule through a pipe of mesoscopic scale. The molecule should effectifely carry two spins and antiferromagnetic chains should be embedded in the wall of the tube. If the momentum is detected before and behind the tube, a projection of the molecular spins ~σ1 and ~σ2 takes place. If the molecule did not loose momentum inside the tube, it has a vanishing squared total...
متن کاملThe chemistry of the antibody molecule.
Immunochemistry has traditionally focused on understanding the molecular basis of antibody binding affinity and specificity. In the last 20 years a major shift has occurred in the field. We are now asking how we can exploit the remarkable properties of the antibody molecule and the immune response in chemistry-from testing basic theories of enzymatic catalysis to the synthesis of new catalysts....
متن کاملHigh-affinity binding to staphylococcal protein A by an engineered dimeric Affibody molecule.
Affibody molecules are engineered binding proteins, in which the three-helix bundle motif of the Z domain derived from protein A is used as a scaffold for sequence variation. We used phage display to select Affibody binders to staphylococcal protein A itself. The best binder, called ZpA963, binds with similar affinity and kinetics to the five homologous E, D, A, B and C domains of protein A, an...
