A rapid, site-selective and efficient route to the dual modification of DARPins

Abstract

Designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) are valuable tools in both biochemistry and medicine. Herein we describe a rapid, simple method for the dual modification of DARPins by introduction of cysteine mutations at specific positions that results in a vast difference in their thiol nucleophilicity, allowing for clean sequential modification. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
