Figure 6. Stereo-views of heavy chain residues 93-102 from the two ligand-free structures, which includes HCDR3. For reference, the sequence of heavy chain residues 93-102 is 93VRGGYRP100Y100AY100BA^100CMD^102Y. (a) HCDR3 from Fab 2 of the P6[5] structure. (b) HCDR3 from Fab 1 of the P321 structure. The electron density maps for both panels are simulated annealing s[A]-weighted mF[o] -DF[c] maps and the contour level is 3s. Prior to map calculation, heavy chain residues 94-101, along with surrounding residues within 3.9 Å, were omitted from the model and simulated annealing was performed. Note that residues 98-100A (RPYY) are disordered, and they appear in the deposited PDB entries with occupancy of zero. A theoretical model of the backbone of residues 98-100A is drawn to help guide the eye.
