Figure 3. Shape complementarity at antibody -HEL interfaces. (a) Molecular surface of H26 viewed at the site that interacts with HEL in the H26 -HEL complex drawn using GRASP37. Regions with higher S[c] values22, indicating closer topological match with HEL, are more blue; regions with topologically uncorrelated surfaces (S[c] = 0) are white. (b) The same view of H26 as described in a, showing the location of V[H] residues in contact with HEL. (c) Molecular surface of H8 viewed at the binding site for HEL in the H8 -HEL complex. As in a, regions with better geometric fits to the antigen are more blue. (d) The same view of H8 as described in c, showing V[H] residues that interact with HEL.
