The table lists all of the antibody structures in the PDB with insertions in L4 or H4 related to bNAbs along with their sequences, germline, and bNAb lineage. Entries with an asterisk (*) represent structures with insertions in both the light and heavy chains. There is only one other antibody with an inserted DE loop in the PDB: the engineered nanobody toward Higb2 toxin in cholera (PDBID 5mje, DE sequence RDSAEDSAKNTV). It is not listed in the Table. The amino acid sequences of the inserted DE loop in the PDB and the germline were aligned by locating the insertion in their DNA sequences.
