Global analysis of VHHs framework regions with a structural alphabet [PDF]
Biochimie, Elsevier, 2016, 131, pp.11 - 19, 2016 The VHHs are antigen-binding region/domain of camelid heavy chain antibodies (HCAb). They have many interesting biotechnological and biomedical properties due to their small size, high solubility and stability, and high affinity and specificity for their antigens. HCAb and classical IgGs are evolutionary related and share a common fold.
