    Abstract:
    Conformational properties of the Fc- and pFc'-fragments of human myeloma immunoglobulins G of the first and third subclasses were studied by 1H-NMR method (270 and 400 MHz). It was found that the globular structures (domains) of the Fc-fragments of IgG1 and IgG3 in solution are characterized by high segmental mobility, and have no significant differences in their spatial arrangement. Comparative analysis of the spectra obtained at different temperatures (30-70 degrees C) revealed that the Fc-fragment of IgG3 has a more heat-stable conformation than the Fc of IgG1. The intramolecular mobility of the Fc-fragment increased upon lowering the pH. The partial assignment of the signals in the NMR spectra of the Fc-fragments of immunoglobulins G1 and G3 was carried out, and the pKa values for histidines of the pFc'-fragment of IgG1 were determined.
