An albumin-derived peptide scaffold capable of binding and catalysis.

An albumin-derived peptide scaffold capable of binding and catalysis.

We have identified a 101-amino-acid polypeptide derived from the sequence of the IIA binding site of human albumin. The polypeptide contains residues that make contact with IIA ligands in the parent protein, and eight cysteine residues to form disulfide bridges, that stabilize the polypeptide struct...
