Antibody-antigen interactions: new structures and new conformational changes

Curr Opin Struct Biol. 1994 Dec;4(6):857-67. doi: 10.1016/0959-440x(94)90267-4.

Abstract

During the past year, many new antibody structures have been determined, increasing our understanding of these immunologically important molecules. Of special interest are new catalytic antibodies, antibody-peptide and antibody-virus complexes, NMR structures, and structures illustrating conformational changes and antibody cross-reactivity.
