Elucidating the structural basis of antigen-antibody recognition ideally requires a structural comparison of free and complexed components. To this end we have studied a mouse monoclonal antibody, denoted 13B5, raised against p24, the capsid protein of HIV-1. We have previously described the first crystal structure of intact p24 as visualized in the Fab13B5-p24 complex. Here we report the structure of the uncomplexed Fab13B5 at 1.8 A resolution and analyze the Fab-p24 interface and the conformational changes occurring upon complex formation.
