Mutation choice to eliminate buried free cysteines in protein therapeutics.
Journal of pharmaceutical sciences - 1 Feb 2015
Xia Xue, Longo Liam M, Blaber Michael
Abstract excerpt
Buried free-cysteine (Cys) residues can contribute to an irreversible unfolding pathway that promotes protein aggregation, increases immunogenic potential, and significantly reduces protein functional half-life. Consequently, mutation of buried free-Cys residues can result in significant improvement in the storage, reconstitution, and pharmacokinetic properties of protein-based therapeutics. Mutational design to...
