Abstract
The energetics of association of the murine anti-hen egg lysozyme antibody HyHEL-5 with bobwhite quail lysozyme, California quail lysozyme, and the Arg45 → Lys mutant of hen egg lysozyme was characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry. The association of each lysozyme with HyHEL-5 is enthalpically driven in the temperature range 10°C to 37°C. The calorimetric results indicate that the salt-links between Arg45 and Arg68 of hen egg lysozyme and GluH50 on the HyHEL-5 paratope are energetically important in HyHEL-5/HEL association. In contrast to previous studies, the results suggest that the three characteristic 'quail' mutations affect the energetics of antibody/antigen association, even though they ace buried and not in direct contact with the antibody.
