4 results about "Monobody" patented technology

Monobodies are synthetic binding proteins constructed using a fibronectin type III domain (FN3) as a molecular scaffold. Specifically, this class of binding proteins are built upon a diversified library of the 10th FN3 domain of human fibronectin. Monobodies are a simple and robust alternative to antibodies for creating target-binding proteins. The hybrid term monobody was coined in 1998 by the Koide group who published the first paper demonstrating the monobody concept using the tenth FN3 domain of human fibronectin.
