Which of the following is (are) involved with an antigen binding to an antibody?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices mentioned (folding of V(H) and V(L) regions, amino acids and the antigen's epitope determinant, noncovalent bonds) are involved in the process of antigen binding to an antibody. The V(H) and V(L) regions determine the binding specificity of the antibody, while the amino acids in these regions interact with the antigen's epitope determinant. Noncovalent bonds such as hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interaction, and van der Waals forces also contribute to the stability of the antigen-antibody complex. Therefore, D is the correct answer.
