Do Water Molecules Displaced by Hydrophobic Interactions Stabilize Antigen-Antibody Binding? Physico-chemical background of antigen-antibody reactions analyzed by fluorescent and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy on FITC – anti-FITC (IgG1) model
BACKGROUND: Antigen-antibody reactions are a special field of molecular interactions. The physico-chemical nature of antigen-antibody binding and ligand-induced changes in the fine molecular structures of antigens during immunocomplex formation are less studied. However, these changes in the molecul...
