Herein, a recombinant antisulfonylureas (SUs) single-chain variable fragment (scFv), which retained the properties of its parental monoclonal antibody, was successfully generated. X-ray crystallography, molecular docking, functional assays, and mutation validation were used to investigate the structure-function relationships underlying antibody-SUs binding. Our study revealed three key mechanisms for broad specificity: (1) the conformational adaptability of the scFv, which enabled various SUs to access the binding pocket; (2) the role of the Trp98 residue in CDR-L3 in modulating binding affinities among multiple SUs; and (3) the design of haptens with common structures and more rigid R substituents, which emerged as a promising strategy for generating broad-specific antibodies. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the broad-specific recognition mechanism, offering valuable insights for rational hapten design and targeted antibody evolution to advance multitarget immunoassays.
