N2 - IgG subclass-specific differences in biological function and in vitro stability areoften referred to variations in the conformational flexibility, while this flexibilityhas rarely been characterized. Here, small-angle X-ray scattering data fromIgG1, IgG2 and IgG4 antibodies, which were designed with identical variableregions, were thoroughly analysed by the ensemble optimization method. Theextended analysis of the optimized ensembles through shape clustering revealsdistinct subclass-specific conformational preferences, which provide new insightsfor understanding the variations in physical/chemical stability and biologicalfunction of therapeutic antibodies. Importantly, the way that specific differencesin the linker region correlate with the solution structure of intact antibodies isrevealed, thereby visualizing future potential for the rational design ofantibodies with designated physicochemical properties and tailored effectorfunctions. In addition, this advanced computational approach is applicable toother flexible multi-domain systems and extends the potential for investigatingflexibility in solutions of macromolecules by small-angle X-ray scattering.
