Fibronectin Type III Repeat Based Protein Scaffolds with Alternative Binding Surfaces
First Claim
1. A method of making a library of fibronectin module of type III (FN3) domains having a diversified C-CD-F-FG alternative surface formed by a C beta-strand, a CD loop, an F beta-strand, and an FG loop, comprisinga. providing a reference FN3 domain polypeptide having the amino acid sequence at least 80% identical to that of SEQ ID NO:
- 27;
b. introducing diversity into the reference FN3 domain polypeptide by mutating at least one C beta-strand residue and at least one F beta-strand residue to form the FN3 domain library having the diversified C-CD-F-FG alternative surface.
