Hiding in plain sight: structure and sequence analysis reveals the importance of the antibody DE loop for antibody-antigen binding
Antibody variable domains contain “complementarity-determining regions” (CDRs), the loops that form the antigen binding site. CDRs1-3 are recognized as the canonical CDRs. However, a fourth loop sits adjacent to CDR1 and CDR2 and joins the D and E strands on the antibody v-type fold. This “DE loop”...
