Antibody Quiz

You will get immediate feedback when you click Submit (at the bottom of the quiz). The quiz below is offered to accompany the Antibody structure tutorial at MolviZ.Org.


1. How many "arms" does one antibody molecule have?

→

2.

How many Fab "arms" does one antibody molecule have?
→

3.

How many Fc "arms" does one antibody molecule have?
→

4.

How many CDRs are in one paratope?
→ Three in the light chain variable domain plus three in the heavy chain variable domain.

5.

What is the term for the smallest part of IgG1 that binds to antigen?
→ The variable fragment, containing only the variable domains: Fv.

An IgG1 molecule has a molecular weight of 150 kilo Daltons.

6.

What is the approximate molecular weight of one immunoglobulin domain in kD?
kD.
→ Twelve Ig domains in one IgG1 molecule. 150/12 = 12.5 kD.

7.

What is the approximate molecular weight of a single Fc in kD?
kD.
→ Fc is one of three roughly equal-sized arms, each containing 8 Ig domains. 150/3 = 50 kD.

Questions below may have more than one correct answer.

Heavy chain CDRs.
CDR1s.
CDR2s.
CDR3s.
CDR4s.

Your score is 0 / 0
