What is the name of the smallest structural fragment of an antibody that binds antigen? How many distinct polypeptide chains are part of this fragment?
FV regions is the smallest regions of antibody which can Ind The antigen.it is a part of fragments antigen binding.(FAB REGION).
4 distinct polypeptide chain can form the part of this fragments.
It is consist of the of both variable Chain of light and heavy chain and the constant region of light Chain and also the some part of constant region of heavy chain.
Thank you

Antibodies consist of a variable part that binds the antigen, and a constant part that binds “effector molecules”, such as complement, as discussed later. Thus the antibody molecule acts as a connector, joining the antigen (bacterium, virus, tumor cell) to effector molecules (such as a complement component, receptors for antibodies on phagocytes or on mast cells). Do you think antibodies that have not bound to antigens bind as well to effector molecules as antibody molecules that have bound to antigen...
