Structural and thermodynamic insights into antibody light chain tetramer formation through 3D domain swapping

Abstract Overexpression of antibody light chains in small plasma cell clones can lead to misfolding and aggregation. On the other hand, the formation of amyloid fibrils from antibody light chains is related to amyloidosis. Although aggregation of antibody light chain is an important issue, atomic-le...
