In a groundbreaking study, researchers now provide novel insights into the structure formed due to 3D domain swapping of the antibody light chain, ... 3D-DS may promote aggregation of antibodies.

Structural biologist Dr. Marie Pancera led research generating 3D images showing how an antibody blocks the coronavirus spike. This image (bottom), generated an X-ray analysis of real proteins, shows ...

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (IGs), are glycoproteins produced in response to an immune reaction and exhibit high specificity for the antigens that elicit the response. Antibody structure ...

Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle have shown that a potent antibody from a COVID-19 survivor interferes with a key feature on the surface of the coronavirus’s distinctive ...

Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are Y-shaped proteins that recognize and neutralize specific pathogens. Their ability to target specific molecules or cells has made them promising candidates for ...

Scientists at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle have shown that a potent antibody from a COVID-19 survivor interferes with a key feature on the surface of the coronavirus's ...

Mapping epitopes in 3D helps researchers investigate molecular interactions between antibodies and their targets with precision, facilitating antibody selection for protein research breakthroughs.

MIT chemical engineers discovered that they could force antibodies and other proteins to form layers by attaching each protein to a polymer tail. The proteins and polymers repel each other, so the ...
