Abstract
Antibodies that bind RNA represent an unrealized source of reagents for synthetic biology and for characterizing cellular transcriptomes. However, facile access to RNA-binding antibodies requires the engineering of effective …

Abstract
Engineering monovalent Fab fragments into bivalent formats like IgGs or F(ab’)2 can lead to aggregation presumably because of nonspecific off-target interactions that induce aggregation. In an effort to further understand the molecular determinants of nonspecific interactions for engineered antibodies and natively folded …

Abstract
A major challenge in membrane biophysics is to define the mechanistic linkages between a protein’s conformational transitions and its function. We describe a novel approach to stabilize transient functional states of membrane proteins in native-like …

Abstract
Reversible, high-affinity immobilization tags are critical tools for myriad biological applications. However, inherent issues are associated with a number of the current methods of immobilization. Particularly, a critical element in phage display sorting is functional immobilization of target proteins. …

Abstract
Focal adhesion protein paxillin links integrin and growth factor signaling to actin cytoskeleton. Most of paxillin signaling activity is regulated via leucine-rich LD motifs (LD1-LD5) located at the N-terminus. Here, we demonstrate a method to engineer highly selective synthetic …
