Patents Assigned to BICYCLERD LIMITED
  • Patent number: 11946041
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for screening a library of peptide ligands, said library comprising a plurality of polypeptides covalently linked to a molecular scaffold at two or more amino acid residues, comprising the steps of displaying said library of peptide ligands in a genetic display system, wherein the polypeptide comprises two or more reactive groups which form a covalent linkage to the molecular scaffold, and at least one loop which comprises a sequence of amino acids subtended between two of said reactive groups; exposing the peptide ligands to one or more cells which display one or more target molecules on the cell surface; and screening the peptide ligands for binding against the target, and selecting the ligands which bind to the target.

  • Patent number: 11814447
    Abstract: A peptide ligand specific for EphA2 comprising a polypeptide comprising three residues selected from cysteine, L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (Dap), N-beta-alkyl-L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (N-AlkDap) and N-beta-haloalkyl-L-2,3-diaminopropionic acid (N-HAlkDap), with the proviso that at least one of said three residues is selected from Dap, N-AlkDap or N-HAlkDap, the said three residues being separated by at least two loop sequences, and a molecular scaffold, the peptide being linked to the scaffold by covalent alkylamino linkages with the Dap or N-AlkDap or N-HAlkDap residues of the polypeptide and by thioether linkages with the cysteine residues of the polypeptide when the said three residues include cysteine, such that two polypeptide loops are formed on the molecular scaffold.
