This book focuses on the chemical synthesis and functional evaluations
of several protein domains of therapeutic importance. The
mirror-image protein domains, which can be prepared by chemical
synthesis, are useful for the development of mirror-image protein
therapeutics with low immunogenicity. This book first describes the
preparation of two protein domains of therapeutic targets, the
extracellular domain of T cell immunoreceptor with immunoglobulin and
immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif domain (TIGIT), and
human serum albumin domain III. The bioactivities and functions of
these synthetic protein domains were confirmed by analyzing the
interaction with their protein ligands and molecular probes. The
mirror-image forms of these protein domains are applicable to
screening campaigns by mirror-image phage display technology. Second,
the design and synthesis of a novel variant of monobody, an
antibody-like protein domain, are described. The monobody variant was
prepared by facile synthetic procedures, enabling the practical
synthesis of less-immunogenic mirror-image monobody. The variant was
additionally applied to a structure–activity relationship study to
explore the appropriate chemical modification for a superior monobody
scaffold with improved stability and binding affinity. These data of
the synthesis and evaluation of the protein domains in this book
provide an important resource for studies on functional mirror-image
protein domains for next-generation protein therapeutics.
