Jacob Anglister,* Tom Frey, and Harden M. McConnell* abstract: The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of mo-noclonal Fab antibody fragments have been recorded in the absence and presence of a specific spin-label dinitrophenyl hapten. The difference spectra reveal the presence of 11-12 aromatic amino acids in the region of the combining site. By selective deuteration of this hybridoma antibody, these amino acids have been identified as three tryptophans, six or seven tyrosines, one phenylalanine, and one histidine. Difference spectra have also been recorded that depend on ring-current-A-ntibody molecules play a crucial role in defense against infection. When confronted by almost any foreign molecule, the immune system is able to produce antibody proteins of high affinity and exquisite specificity. Thestructural basis of an-tibody specificity has been one of the major concerns of im-munochemistry for many years. Statistical analysis of antibody sequences shows that this specificity is determined by relatively short segments, the hypervariable regions (Wu & Kabat, 1970). Crystallographic studies reveal that the combining sites are formed by these hypervariable regions [for recent reviews,
