Engineering novel binding proteins from nonimmunoglobulin domains

Article Abstract:

The term 'scaffold' is used to describe a protein framework that could carry altered amino acids or sequence insertions that confer on protein variants different functions, usually for binding specific targets. The motivation to create alternative binding molecules derives from a desire to enable new applications where antibodies show some limitations.
