Structure of scFv 1696 at acidic pH

Overview

The monoclonal antibody 1696, which was raised against the HIV-1 protease, inhibits the catalytic activity of the enzyme from both the HIV-1 and, HIV-2 strains. The antibody cross-reacts with peptides containing the, N-terminus of the enzyme, which is highly conserved between these strains., The crystal structure of a single-chain Fv fragment of 1696 (scFv-1696) in, the non-complexed form, solved at 1.7 A resolution, is compared with the, previously reported non-complexed Fab-1696 and antigen-bound scFv-1696, structures. Large conformational changes in the third hypervariable region, of the heavy chain and differences in relative orientation of the variable, domains are observed between the different structures.
