Immunoglobulin structure

Last year I said that a full paper detailing all the haemoglobin work would be the next project for this blog. As it happens I realised a few months ago that IgG (an immunoglobulin) is like haemoglobin in being an α2β2 tetramer and so I explored tetrahedral rearrangements of the published crystal structure. This project has been very successful. I will present the IgG results on this blog before I complete the larger haemoglobin document.
