L1-E6 | 60 | 60 |
L1-G2 | 61 | 64 |
L1-G2 + | 80 | 81 |
L1-H2 | 62 | 66 |
L1-H7 | 60 | 62 |
mAb 417 | 71 | ND |
mAb 418 | 71 | ND |

ND = not determined.
* Fluorescent melt assays performed in triplicate on at least 2 days. The triplicate measurements were typically identical within less than 0.2°C, and always within 0.6°C, while samples measured from different protein lots or on different days agreed within a degree. ** Most of the CD assays were performed on at least two different days. Values determined by CD agreed within a degree.
