Abstract:Seventy-two intentionally sequence-diverse antibody variable regions were selected, expressed as IgG1 antibodies, and evaluated by chemical unfolding to survey the complexities of denaturant induced unfolding behavior. A two-transition fit well described the curves and uncovered a wide range of sensitivities to denaturant. Four general types of unfolding curves were observed: balanced traces (each transition responsible for half of the total unfolding transition), low-unfolding traces (first transition is a ma… Show more
