Richard M. Lewis, Barbara C. Furie, and Bruce Furie* abstract: Prothrombin undergoes a conformational transition induced by metal ions. For preparation of monoclonal anti-bodies directed against the metal-stabilized conformer of hu-man prothrombin, murine somatic hybrids were prepared that elaborate antibodies against various determinants on the prothrombin surface. Eight anti-prothrombin-producing clones were characterized. All eight antibodies bound human prothrombin and prothrombin fragment 1 but failed to bind pre-thrombin 1, a-thrombin, or bovine prothrombin. Four mo-noclonal antibodies bound abnormal prothrombin. These antibodies bound prothrombin with greater affinity than fragment 1, emphasizing the conformational distinctions be-tween the protein and itsfragment. One antibody bound prothrombin only in the presence of CaCl2; this antibody did not bind abnormalprothrombin. Three functional groups of anti-prothrombin monoclonal antibodies were identified:(1) antibodies specific for the metal-stabilized prothrombin con-former that do not bind abnormalprothrombin;(2) antibodies that bind prothrombin and abnormal (des-7-carboxy) pro-O^ onformation-specific antibodies have been used as probes of protein structure to complement chemical and physical methods in determining the relationship of protein structure and function. Immunochemical approaches have been applied to the study of conformational motility of polypeptides (Sachs et al., 1972; Furie et al., 1975; Hurrell et al., 1977), pathways of protein folding (Chavez & Scheraga, 1977; Creighton et
