CATALYTIC ANTIBODY 4B2 IN COMPLEX WITH ITS AMIDINIUM HAPTEN.
Overview
The crystal structure of the complex of a catalytic antibody with its, cationic hapten at 1.9-A resolution demonstrates that the hapten amidinium, group is stabilized through an ionic pair interaction with the carboxylate, of a combining-site residue. The location of this carboxylate allows it to, act as a general base in an allylic rearrangement. When compared with, structures of other antibody complexes in which the positive moiety of the, hapten is stabilized mostly by cation-pi interactions, this structure, shows that the amidinium moiety is a useful candidate to elicit a, carboxylate in an antibody combining site at a predetermined location with, respect to the hapten. More generally, this structure highlights the, advantage of a bidentate hapten for the programmed positioning of a, chemically reactive residue in an antibody through charge complementarity, to the hapten.
