Antibody Paratope

[Proteus]

How is the paratope of an antibody formed?

[greenprogrammin]

By the Epitope.

 

You should really get a 15 dollar Schaumm's Outline: Immunology book. Or a General Biology book.

 

They have some really good illustrations that would take 40 pages of typing to explain.

 

You could also search the net for some illustrations.

 

It's really a complex process that can easily be broken down to a couple of good pictures and flow charts.

I don't need a 40 pages answer.

[CharonY]

By normal protein folding mechnisms (it is a quaternary structure).

Thank you!
