Stability convergence in natural antibodies with ultra-long hypervariable loops

Abstract Antibodies bind to antigens with hypervariable loops called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). In contrast to conventional antibodies, a subset of bovine antibodies has an ultra-long CDR (ulCDR) composed of up to 70 residues folded as a stalk and knob. The fundamental principles of...
