The region at the tip of an antibody arm that physically contacts the antigen via a noncovalent interaction. Its shape and amino acid composition dictate its specific antigen binding.
Bir antikorun kolunun ucundaki, antijen ile kovalent olmayan bir etkileşim yoluyla fiziksel temas kuran bölge. Bölgenin antijen özgüllüğü şekli ve mevcut amino asitler tarafından belirlenir.
