Effect of non-repetitive linker on in vitro and in vivo properties of an anti-VEGF scFv

Merve Arslan et al.

Summary: Single chain antibody fragments (scFvs) are widely used in diagnostics and therapeutics due to their small size and various engineering approaches. The design of the linker between the variable heavy and light chains of scFv plays a crucial role in its construction. The flexibility of the linker is determined by its length and sequence content, and flexible linkers such as glycine-serine (GS) are commonly preferred. However, repeated sequences in GS linkers can cause problems in PCR-based engineering and immunogenicity.

Mutation of Framework Residue H71 Results in Different Antibody Paratope States in Solution

Monica L. Fernandez-Quintero et al.

Summary: This study characterizes the role of residue 71(H) in antibody design, showing its influence on CDR-H2 loop conformation and the diversity and population shifts of CDR-H1 and CDR-H3 loops. The study demonstrates that all CDR loop movements are correlated, leading to conformational rearrangements and changes in interface angle distributions, ultimately affecting different paratope states in solution.
