20110183861 | METHODS TO STABILIZE PROTEINS AND POLYPEPTIDES - Methods of modifying and in particular stabilizing proteins and polypeptides by which a predetermined amino acid is introduced into selected positions of said protein or polypeptide to produce a small group of mutants. The methods are based on the premise that certain amino acids play a crucial role in the stability of proteins or polypeptides. Generated mutants can then be further analysed for stability and/or function, e.g. affinity. Furthermore, appropriate mutants may be combined to result in further optimized proteins or polypeptides. In addition, stabilized example polypeptides and suitable methods to identify and/or analyse de-stabilized or stabilized proteins or polypeptides are provided. The methods can be used to study the role of specific amino acids in protein structure and function and to develop new or improved, e.g. stabilized proteins and polypeptides such as antibodies and single variable domains. | 07-28-2011 |
20120093839 | NOVEL ANTIGEN BINDING DIMER-COMPLEXES, METHODS OF MAKING/AVOIDING AND USES THEREOF - In a broad aspect the present invention generally relates to novel dimer-complexes (herein called “non-fused-dimers” or NFDs) comprising single variable domains, methods of making these complexes and uses thereof. These non-covalently bound dimer-complexes consist of two identical monomers that each comprises of one or more single variable domains (homodimers) or of two different monomers that each comprises on or more single variable domains (heterodimers). The subject NFDs have typically altered e.g. improved binding characteristics over their monomelic counterpart. The NFDs of the invention may further be engineered through linkage by a flexible peptide or cysteines in order to improve the stability. This invention also describes conditions under which such NFDs are formed and conditions under which the formation of such dimers can be avoided. | 04-19-2012 |
