A study of the mechanism of the chaperone-like function of an scFv of human creatine kinase by computer simulation.

A new application of antibodies is to use them as macromolecular chaperones. Protein antigens usually have multiple epitopes, thus, there may be a plurality of antibodies binding to one antigen.
