Abstract excerpt
The β-sandwich domain 1 (SD1) of islandisin is a stable thermophilic protein with surface loops that can be redesigned for specific target binding, architecturally comparable to the variable domain of immunoglobulin (IgG). SD1's propensity to aggregate due to incorrect folding and subsequent accumulation in Escherichia coli inclusion bodies limits its use in biotechnological applications. We rationally designed...
