The structure of the Fab' fragment of a human myeloma immunoglobulin was determined by x-ray crystallographic analysis at 2.8-A resolution. The Fourier map of the electron density was correlated with the aminoacid sequence to obtain a three-dimensional model. Four globular subunits, which correspond to the homology regions of the light and heavy chains, are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
