Antibodies have a variable region that binds to a specific antigenic determinant.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab), also known as an immunoglobulin (Ig), is a large, Y-shaped protein used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The antibody recognizes a unique molecule of the pathogen, called an antigen. Each tip of the "Y" of an antibody contains a paratope (analogous to a lock) that is specific for one particular epitope (analogous to a key) on an antigen, allowing these two structures to bind together with precision. Using this binding mechanism, an antibody can tag a microbe or an infected cell for attack by other parts of the immune system or can neutralize it directly (for example, by blocking a part of a virus that is essential for its invasion).

To learn more about the antibody refer here:

) is every minimum bottleneck tree of g a minimum spanning tree of g? prove or give a counter example
mote1985 [20]

The answer is false. To explain further, let G have vertices {v1, v2, v3, v4}, with ends between each pair of vertices, and with the mass on the edge from vi to vj equal to I + j. Then each tree has a bottle neck edge mass of as a minimum of 5, so the tree containing of a track through vertices v3, v2, v1,v4 is a least bottleneck tree. It is not a least spanning tree, though, subsequently its total mass is greater than that of the tree with edges from v1 to every single vertex.
