Affibody molecule
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Affibody molecules are small, robust proteins engineered to bind to a large number of target proteins or peptides with high affinity, imitating monoclonal antibodies, and are therefore a member of the family of antibody mimetics. Affibody molecules are used in biochemical research and are being developed as potential new biopharmaceutical drugs.[1] These molecules can be used for molecular recognition in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.[2][3]
