Which statement about antigen-antibody interactions is CORRECT?
A) Antigens bind to antibodies cooperatively.
B) Antigens bind to antibodies through induced fit.
C) Antigens bind to antibodies at both the Fab and Fc parts of the antibody.
D) Molecules with molecular weights of less than 5,000 daltons are exceptionally antigenic and bind to antibodies extremely well.
E) Antigens bind only to antibodies that have a preformed binding site that is perfectly complementary to the antigen.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antigens bind to antibodies through induced fit, meaning that the antigen and antibody undergo conformational changes to form a stable complex. This allows for a range of possible binding sites and greater flexibility in antigen recognition. The other options listed are not correct.
