How many amino acid residues are in the heavy and light chains of the Fab fragment, and how many amino acid residues are in lysozyme?
 
 
To fully appreciate how proteins function in a cell, it is helpful to have a three-dimensional view of how proteins interact with
other cellular components. Fortunately, this is possible using online protein databases and three-dimensional molecular
viewing utilities.
Examine the interactions between the enzyme lysozyme and the Fab portion of the anti-lysozyme antibody. Use the 3D
viewer to explore the structure of the IgG1 Fab fragment-lysozyme complex (antibody-antigen complex).
