Abstract
⺠Designed repeat protein scaffolds form a promising alternative to antibodies. ⺠These proteins lack disulfides, allowing soluble expression in the cytoplasm of E. coli. ⺠Novel molecular formats can be engineered in a convenient manner. ⺠DARPins, TPRs, αREPs and armadillos are examples of consensus designed scaffolds. ⺠Novel applications of these proteins, particularly DARPins, are highlighted.
