  • Title: Magnetic resonance studies of the binding site interactions between 19F-labeled nitrophenyl haptens and specific mouse myeloma immunoglobulin MOPC-315.
    Author: Kooistra DA, Richards JH.
    Journal: Biochemistry; 1978 Jan 24; 17(2):345-51. PubMed ID: 619995.
    Abstract:
    The interactions between MOPC-315, a mouse myeloma protein with specificity for nitrophenyl haptens, and 19F-substituted haptens have been investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The haptens studied are mono- or dinitrophenyl derivatives of gamma-aminobutyric acid, lysine, or glycine which have trifuoromethyl groups attached to the phenyl rings. Upon binding to immunoglobulin, the 19F nucleus experiences a downfield shift whose magnitude depends on the position of the trifluoromethyl group on the phenyl ring but is independent of other structural changes in the hapten such as the number of nitro groups attached to the phenyl ring. Further, the chemical shift of bound hapten is not influenced by the amount of the constant region attached to the binding site; we accordingly conclude that the presence of the distal, constant regions of the immunoglobulin molecule does not influence binding site interactions.
