Using this strategy on a micromolar hIL-6 antagonist minibody, a variant with a threefold higher affinity and improved hIL-6 specificity is isolated.

Interestingly, while selecting for inhibitors for human thrombin, binders to a different site than the catalytic site are found.

Use of a conformationally restricted secondary structural element to display peptide libraries: a two stranded alpha-helical coiled-coil stabilized by lactam bridges. of special interest J Mol Biol. 262:1996;270-282 The grafting of a discontinuous five-residue IgA epitope into a synthetic α-helical lactam-bridged coiled-coil scaffold yields IgA-binding molecules. The potential of the scaffold for use in the construction of random libraries is demonstrated by the successful introduction of five glycine residues - one of the most helix-destabilizing substitutions likely to occur in a random library of the five sites suggested for randomization.

This is an important step towards conformationally defined libraries. In addition, the results yield important information on the helix propensity for the L-amino acids.
