Abstract:
The H-bond ((h3)J(NC')) and peptide bond ((1)J(NC')) scalar couplings establish connectivity of the electronic structure in the H-bond chains of proteins. The correlated changes of (h3)J(NC') and (1)J(NC') couplings extend over several peptide groups in the chains. Consequently, the electronic structure of the H-bond chains can affect (h3)J(NC') in a manner that is independent of the local H-bond geometry. By taking this into account, and by using a more complete set of H-bond geometry parameters, we have predicted (h3)J(NC') couplings in the H-bond chains with deviations commensurate to the standard deviations of the experimentally determined values. We have created a comprehensive database of (h3)J(NC') and (1)J(NC') couplings by measuring the coupling constants in ubiquitin (alphabeta-fold) intestinal fatty acid binding protein (beta-barrel) and carp parvalbumin (alpha-helical).

Antibody Structure
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
