Modelling of scFvs, hD1D2, and hD1D2-59E. (A) The antigen-binding site of scFv 10B12. (B) The antigen-binding site of scFv 1C3; VH, variable domain of the heavy chain, VL domain, variable domain of the light chain. (C) The apical surface of hD1D2. (D) The apical surface of hD1D2-59E. (E) The antigen binding loops H1-3 and L1-3 (according to Chothia et al45 ) of scFv 10B12. Residues pertinent to the discussion are labeled. Numbering of residues in scFv 10B12 are according to Kabat et al.46 Images were produced using the GRASP program39 and are colored for surface charge (red = negative, blue = positive) as described in the text.
