(A) Influence of affinity maturation on the relative interface and elbow angle distributions. The D44.1 Fab (colored in cyan) reveals a broader interface and elbow angle distribution compared to the matured F10.6.6 antibody. The calculations of the FFT of the respective distributions are displayed, showing the angle variations occurring faster than 1 ns, between 0.1 and 10 ns, and slower than 10 ns. (B) Histograms of the respective interface and elbow angle distributions, including the respective X-ray structures of the affinity maturation pair D44.1 and F10.6.6, which were used as starting structures for molecular dynamics simulations.
