Stabilized fibronectin domain compositions, methods and uses
First Claim
1. A method of constructing a library of a scaffold-based protein derived from a stability enhanced consensus sequence of a fibronectin type III domain incorporating randomized codons in order to produce polypeptide variants, comprising the steps of:
- providing a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising a stability enhanced consensus sequence of a fibronectin type III domain selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOs;
142-151;
introducing randomizing codons into the polynucleotide sequence at selected positions; and
propagating copies of the polynucleotide sequence to form a library of polynucleotides encoding variant scaffold proteins.

Abstract
A protein scaffold based on a consensus sequence of fibronectin type III (FN3) proteins, such as the tenth FN3 repeat from human fibronectin (human Tenascin), including isolated nucleic acids that encode a protein scaffold, vectors, host cells, and methods of making and using thereof, exhibit enhanced thermal and chemical stability while presenting six modifiable loop domains which can be engineered to form a binding partner capable of binding to a target for applications in diagnostic and/or therapeutic compositions, methods and devices.
