- Аннотация: The known polyspecificity of antibodies, which is crucial for efficient immune response, is determined by the conformational flexibility and intrinsic disorder encoded in local peculiarities of the amino acid sequence of antibodies within or in the vicinity of their complementarity determining regions. Similarly, epitopes represent fuzzy binding sites, which are also characterized by local structural flexibility. Existing data suggest that the efficient interactions between antigens and antibodies rely on the conformational mobility and some disorder of their binding sites and therefore can be relatively well described by the "flexible lock - adjustable key" model, whereas both, extreme order (rigid lock-and-key) and extreme disorder (viral shape-shifters) are not compatible with the efficient antigen-antibody interactions and are not present in immune interactions.
