Mechanistic principles of an ultra-long bovine CDR reveal strategies for antibody design

Certain bovine antibodies have ultra-long long complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) that contain a knob for antigen interaction, which is connected to the antibody through a stalk. Here, the authors combine biophysical experiments and MD simulations and show that the stalk length is critical f...
