    The process to determine a protein’s structure starts with the purification of the desired protein. A protein must be placed in an environment with specific conditions that will enable it to be isolated from impurities; different techniques of chromatography are extremely useful in these situations. Purification techniques are utilized by crystallographers because pure proteins must be crystallized in order to determine structure. If proteins crystallize with impurities, it can ultimately affect crystal structure and give inaccurate x-ray diffraction results and hinder the process of identifying protein structures. Crystallographers…

    An antibody, also known as an immunoglobulin, is a large Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique part of the foreign target, termed an antigen.[1][2] Each tip of the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope (a structure analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (similarly analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system, or can neutralize its target directly (for example, by blocking a part of a microbe that is essential for its invasion and survival). The production of antibodies is the main function of the humoral immune system.[3]…
