Stabilization of an Immunoglobulin Fold Domain by an Engineered Disulfide Bond at the Buried Hydrophobic Region
12 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
We report for the first time the stabilization of an immunoglobulin fold domain by an engineered disulfide bond. In the llama single-domain antibody, which has human chorionic gonadotropin as its specific antigen, Ala49 and Ile70 are buried in the structure. A mutant with an artificial disulfide bond at this position showed a 10 degrees C higher midpoint temperature of thermal unfolding than that without the...
