Rational design of environmentally responsive antibodies with pH-sensing synthetic amino acids
21 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
Antibodies are widely used as therapeutic agents to tackle various diseases. In the present study, to enhance their clinical values, we rationally designed pH-responsivity by exploiting the idiosyncratic protonation/deprotonation profiles of non-natural amino acids. 3-Nitro- l -tyrosine, 3-cyano- l -tyrosine, and 3, 5-halogenated- l -tyrosine, each with near neutral pK a , were thus incorporated into Fab...
