Patent Images
1. A pharmaceutically acceptable polypeptide comprising a tenth fibronectin type III (10Fn3) domain, wherein:
- (a) the 10Fn3 domain has at least one loop with a modified amino acid sequence relative to the sequence of the corresponding loop of the human 10Fn3 domain;
(b) the 10Fn3 domain binds to a target compound that is not bound by the human 10Fn3 domain; and
(c) the integrin binding motif, RGD, of the 10Fn3 domain is replaced by an amino acid sequence as follows;
basic amino acid-neutral amino acid-acidic amino acid.
