About the Project
We have recently developed a new non-antibody binding protein scaffold called Adhiron, that is small (82 aa) and extremely robust. We have produced extremely high quality phage display libraries. We routinely select Adhirons against a range of molecular targets including proteins, peptides, organic and inorganic molecules. We are interested in further engineering an tailoring the scaffold for a range of applications.
The project will involve training in a range of molecular biology and protein biochemistry, recombinant protein purification and biochemical and biophysical characterisation of proteins.
