Abstract excerpt
Small protein ligands can provide superior physiological distribution compared with antibodies, and improved stability, production, and specific conjugation. Systematic evaluation of the PDB identified a scaffold to push the limits of small size and robust evolution of stable, high-affinity ligands: 45-residue T7 phage gene 2 protein (Gp2) contains an α helix opposite a β sheet with two adjacent loops amenable to...
