Figure 1.
Figure 1. Model of the vert, similar 590 kDa complex observed in solution studies of the NC10 scFv(5)-NA, in which the scFv(5) is dimeric and bivalent [Kortt et al 1997]. Model is shown as a bold C^αtrace. The NA tetramers (green and purple) are crosslinked by scFv(5) molecules. The Fv domain bound to the green NA is shown with V[L]yellow and V[H]orange, while the Fv domain bound to the purple NA is shown with V[L]light blue and V[H]dark blue. The scFv(5) is thus shown with one V[L]yellow and the other light blue, and one V[H]orange and the other dark-blue. The complex has point group 422 symmetry. Drawn with MOLSCRIPT [Kraulis 1991] and RASTER3D [Bacon and Anderson 1989 and Merritt and Murphy 1994]. (a) View with the molecular 4-fold axis vertical. (b) View with the molecular 4-fold axis out of the page.
