Immunoglobulin G Structure
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a tetrameric antibody protein found in blood plasma. This model shows the multi-domain architecture of this all-b-protein.

The starting Display is Cartoons; the Color is Chain.
The "heavy" chains are red and green; the "light" chains are blue and yellow.
The amino and carboxyl termini of one heavy and one light chain subunit are labeled.
[Figure not in Campbell, Ch. 4, however, the IgG fold is shown in Fig. 4.8 (b).
See also Fig. 21.15 for a diagram.]
