The present invention provides a single domain antibody (sdAb) scaffold comprising one or more than one non-canonical disulfide bond in the framework region (FR). The one or more than one non-canonical disulfide bond may be formed between cysteines introduced by mutations in FR2 and FR3. In the case where the sdAb scaffold is a VH, the Cys may be introduced at any one of positions (47-49) and any one of positions (67-71), based on Kabat numbering; in one example, the Cys may be introduced at positions (49) and (69), based on Kabat numbering. In the case where the sdAb scaffold is a VL, the Cys residues may be introduced at any one of positions 46-49 and any one of positions (62-66), based on Kabat numbering; in one example, the Cys residues may be introduced at positions (48 and 64), based on Kabat numbering.
