Harnessing Avidity: Quantifying the Entropic and Energetic Effects of Linker Length and Rigidity for Multivalent Binding of Antibodies to HIV-1

IgG antibodies increase their apparent affinities by using both of their Fabs to simultaneously attach to antigens. HIV-1 foils this strategy by having few, and highly separated, Envelope (Env) spike targets for antibodies, forcing most IgGs to bind monovalently. Here, we develop a statistical mecha...
