A statistical model for antibody-antigen binding
We discuss a statistical model for antibody-antigen binding. The two macromolecules are assumed to be linked by a number of relatively weak bonds (or groups of correlated bonds) that are assumed to open and close statistically. We use the model for a preliminary analysis of experiments performed in...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Резюме: | We discuss a statistical model for antibody-antigen binding. The two macromolecules are assumed to be linked by a number of relatively weak bonds
(or groups of correlated bonds) that are assumed to open and close statistically. We use the model for a preliminary analysis of experiments performed in the Institute of Biophysics at the Johannes Kepler University. In
these experiments the two molecules are brought into contact using an
atomic force microscope; then a prescribed time dependent force is applied to the bond and the distribution of times needed to pull the molecules
completely apart is measured. This quantity is calculated with our model;
its dependence on the model parameters (binding free energies, number
of groups of correlated elementary bonds, force dependence of the binding
free energy) is determined. |
