Figure 3. Different CDR1–CDR3 contacts in Ancestral and PBLA8. (a) unliganded Ancestral, (b) unliganded PBLA8, (c) liganded Ancestral, (d) liganded PBLA8. Residue 28 is an Asn in the Ancestral structure (a) and an Arg in PBLA8 (b). PBLA8 Arg28 forms a salt-bridge with Asp93 that may serve to stabilize CDR3; this interaction is absent in the Ancestral structure. The PBLA8 Arg28-Asp93 salt-bridge must be broken to bind lysozyme (d) where Asp93 forms a salt-bridge with lysozyme residue ArgL112. Figure 3. Different CDR1–CDR3 contacts in Ancestral and PBLA8.
