What is a paratope?..

Answer / Amit Kumar Gill

A paratope is the antigen-binding site on an antibody molecule, specifically the region that recognizes and binds to a specific epitope on an antigen. The paratope is structurally complementary to the antigen's epitope, allowing for precise recognition and binding via hydrogen bonds, ionic interactions, and van der Waals forces.
