Abstract
Three-dimensional structures of antibody and antibody-antigen complexes that have been solved to date exhibit highly conserved folding motifs, and the main structural differences between antibodies are restricted to the interdomain angles and the antigen-binding site. This knowledge has been successfully used to solve a large number of crystal structures of antibody fragments by molecular replacement. This paper reviews approaches that have been used in solving these crystal structures.
