Antibodies recognize antigens
Answer: A
Correct answer: Via their hypervariable regions
The antigen-binding site is formed by the three hypervariable loops, or complementarity determining regions, of the heavy chain paired with the three of the light chain. Binding is entirely non-covalent - hydrogen bonds, electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and van der Waals forces - which is what makes it reversible and why affinity varies so widely between antibodies.
