COMPARISONS of the physical properties and chemical structure of myeloma proteins with those of other immunoglobulins and antibodies have indicated that myeloma proteins are abnormal only in their relative homogeneity; they seem to be typical representatives of the immunoglobulin class to which they belong. In addition, antibody activity has been shown in several myeloma proteins and in macroglobulins associated with Waldenstrom's syndrome1–9. A knowledge of the tertiary structure of fragment Fab, which contains the combining site of an antibody10, should therefore be of particular interest.
