Figure 4.
FIGURE 4. G6 bound to VEGF (shown in red) and G6 in its unbound form (green) superimposed on a number of Fab fragments in two different views. Shown are B20-4 (yellow), the Avastin-Fab (blue), and 4D5 (Protein Data Bank code 1FVC, in white), which adopt canonical conformations, as well as a selection of Fabs that have non-canonical conformations in CDR-H2 (Protein Data Bank codes 1IND, 1BBJ, 1FIG, 6FAB, all shown in white). Note the significant conformational shift of the G6 CDR-H2 upon VEGF binding.
