ENGINEERED CONFORMATIONALLY-STABILIZED PROTEINS

摘要

Provided herein are conformationally stabilized ubiquitin proteins and methods for using the same to identify agents that bind to the stabilized ubiquitin protein or that bind to a protein that interacts with or processes the stabilized form of the ubiquitin protein. Also provided herein are methods for screening for conformationally stabilized proteins having increased binding affinity to a binding partner in comparison to the binding affinity of the wildtype form of the protein to the binding partner.
