Fig. 5. Stereoview comparisons of the H3 loops in B1-8 and B1-8/NQ11. (a) A worm representation of the H3 loop in B1-8 (shaded lighter) superimposed on the H3 loop of B1-8/NQ11 (shaded darker). The^ molecular surface shown is that of the B1-8/NQ11 model with the^ H3 loop omitted. The surface of the V[H] domain is white and the^ general surface of the V[L] domain is light gray. The surface of^ Phe^L60 is shaded dark. The analogous residue in B1-8 is Ala^L57 that leaves space to accommodate the side chain of TyrH106 (shown in stick representation) in the B1-8 Fv. The presence^ of GlyL96 (shaded) leaves space to accommodate the side chain of TyrH106 in B1-8/NQ11. The analogous volume in B1-8 is occupied by TrpL93. (b) The H3 loop of B1-8/NQ11 and its interaction with V[ ]residues. The C^ positions are indicated with larger spheres. V[L] atoms are shown as white spheres and V[H] atoms as black spheres. (c) The B1-8 H3^ loop and its interactions with the V[ ]domain.
