Engineering peptide specific hyper-crystallizable antibody fragments (scFv) as potential chaperones for co-crystallization

Hydrophobic membrane proteins perform a variety of important functions in the cell, but their structures are notoriously difficult to solve. Thus, new strategies to obtain crystals of membrane proteins for structure determination are critical. We aim to develop a toolbox of peptide specific single-...
