... alanine scanning of the L-CDR3 and H-CDR3 loops of antibody mAb4E11.This scanning allowed us to identify the residues of these loops that contributed to the energetics and kinet-ics of the interaction ... mAb4E11 and its antigen.It showed that the residues of diversity, H-Trp96 and H-Glu97, and the residues of junction, L-Trp96,H-Gly95 and H-Gly98, constituted major hotspots of binding energy. ... VLcontain the residues of diversity and junction, encoded by the D segment, and the VH-D, D-JH, and VL-JLjunctions [17]. They are located at the center of the antibody combining site...
