Abstract
Antibodies can catalyze the generation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from singlet dioxygen (1O2*) and water via the postulated intermediacy of dihydrogen trioxide (H2O3) and other trioxygen species. Nine different crystal structures were determined to elucidate the chemical consequences to the antibody molecule itself of exposure to such reactive intermediates and to provide insights into the location on the antibody where these species could be generated. Herein, we report structural evidence for modifications of two specific antibody residues within the interfacial region of the variable and constant domains of different murine antibody antigen-binding fragments (Fabs) by reactive species generated during the antibody-catalyzed water oxidation process. Crystal structure analyses of murine Fabs 4C6 and 13G5 after UV-irradiation revealed complex oxidative modifications to tryptophan L163 and, in 4C6, hydroxylation of the Cgamma of glutamine H6. These discrete modifications of specific residues add further support for the "active site" of the water-oxidation pathway being located within the interfacial region of the constant and variable domains and highlight the general resistance of the antibody molecule to oxidation by reactive oxygen species generated during the water-oxidation process.

Fig. 1. Stereoview of the crystal structure of 4C6 Fab, with the C^ trace of the light (L) and heavy (H) chains colored in light and dark gray, respectively. The modified tryptophan TrpL163 is highlighted in red, and other tryptophan residues (such as TrpH97) are colored green. The modified glutamine residue GlnH6 is also colored red. All of the figures were generated in BOBSCRIPT (12) and rendered in RASTER3D (13).

Fig. 4. Fourier electron density maps showing TrpL163 in 13G5 Fab for UV-irradiated data set H and native control data set I. For a and b, the tryptophan residue was refined as tryptophan, whereas for control (c and d), the tryptophan residue was refined as alanine to avoid model bias.

Full text Abstract
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Specific interactions of 9 with side chains of the Fab 13G5 in the antibody-antigen complex. Three hydrogen bonds are formed with Fab residues TyrL36, AspH50, and AsnL91. In addition, a water molecule O87 is in close contact to ferrocene 9. The hydrogen-bonding network in the Fab combining site that orients the side chains of TyrL36, AspH50, and AsnL91 in position to form hydrogen bonds with 9 are shown in (B). For AsnL91, this network is extended over three residues. Oxygen atoms are^ shown in red and nitrogen atoms in blue. Figures 4 and 5 were^ produced with XP (31).
Figure 8.
Fig. 8. Favored orientations for each of the four isomeric transition states in antibody 13G5 predicted by AUTODOCK: (A) (3R,4R)-exo, (B) (3S,4S)-exo, (C) (3R,4S)-endo, and (D) (3S,4R)-endo. The lowest energy structures in (A), (C), and (D), and the second lowest in (B) are shown. Only the transition states of the reaction (Fig. 1) and the interacting side chains that form hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure of the ferrocenyl inhibitor are shown for clarity. Only in the exo forms are all three hydrogen bonds made that are observed in the crystal structure^ of the inhibitor-Fab complex.
