Abstract:We analyzed a dataset of 964 clonally unrelated murine antibodies for which structures have been deposited in the PDB. 454 of the 964 antibodies have gapless germline assignments and do not have excessive numbers of computationally identified somatic hypermutations (SHMs). About 5,500 SHMs were identified, of which approximately 3,500 are in the framework. We then searched for correlated convergent SHMs, i.e. groups of SHMs that arose independently in different antibodies but at the same sequence position and … Show more
