Figure 4. Alignment of free and liganded structure and detailed comparison of CDR-H3 conformation. (A) Least squares superposition of V[L] in the unliganded FITC-E2 scFv (blue) and the FITC-E2-hapten complex (red), indicating the difference in the relative orientation of V[L] and V[H] in the two structures. The axis of a 3° rotation relating the V[H] orientations in the freeand the liganded scFv, located in the plain of thefigure, is indicated bya small arrow. (B) CDR-H3 conformation in the unliganded scFv (blue) and the liganded scFv (red). Equivalent atoms are related by green arrows.
