In order for pembrolizumab to block PD-1, pembrolizumab forms a large, flat paratope (antigen-binding site) that can sustain PD-1’s large epitope (where antibody attaches on antigen). The induced interaction between pembrolizumab and PD-1 gives rise to a surface conformational change on PD-1. The new structure of PD-1 becomes a very shallow, “crescent”-like shape, in contrast to it’s flat conformation when bound to PD-L1 <ref>DOI: 10.1038/srep35297<ref/>. | In order for pembrolizumab to block PD-1, pembrolizumab forms a large, flat paratope (antigen-binding site) that can sustain PD-1’s large epitope (where antibody attaches on antigen).
