Mapping antibody binding sites on protein antigens

Article Abstract:

Deuterium-exchange labeling together with two-dimensional 1H nuclear magnetic resonance show great promise as a new approach to mapping discontiguous antigenic binding sites on protein antigens. This method takes advantage of deuterium's capacity to remove protons from the amide proteins in the polypeptide part of a protein, which gives scientists a means of determining a protein antigen's structure. Such advantages as being able to scrutinize epitopes give the new method a marked superiority over X-ray crystallography.

Whose scans are they, anyway?

Article Abstract:

Issues concerning data sharing amongst brain mappers using fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) are discussed. The Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) is deliberating data sharing and standardization of tools.
