Figure 4
Modifications of the methyl group of n-butyl Arg8 shown in stereo. The AHA-linked meditope is shown in yellow. Corresponding SPR traces are shown on the right. (a) No productive interactions are observed upon modification with an amine. (b) Replacing the n-butyl methyl group with a hydroxyl Arg8 (cyan) results in coordination of a water molecule (red sphere) and decreases the off-rate. (c) A carboxyethyl modification (light red) of Arg8 appears in multiple conformations, one of which is involved in similar interactions to the hydroxypropyl extension, whereas the second points away from the Fab and towards the meditope backbone.
