hTrx scaffold for peptide aptamers with 3xFLAG-tag
This part is a human thioredoxin-based scaffold for the presentation of peptide aptamers. The hTrx-scaffold contains a xhoI restriction site that enables insertion of a random DNA library. A 3xFLAG-tag is added to the C-terminal end of the scaffold. This affinity tag can be used for detection and/or purification purposes.
An antibody-mimetic
Peptide aptamers are combinatorial recognition proteins that provide high specificity and strong binding affinity. They consist of a variable peptide sequence inserted into a protein scaffold. This variable peptide loop makes up a binding domain that enables binding to various proteins.
The design of this peptide aptamer scaffold is inspired by (Borghouts C et al., 2008) [1].
