Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides which are covalently bound to molecular scaffolds such that two or more peptide loops are subtended between attachment points to the scaffold. In particular, the invention describes peptides which are high affinity binders of membrane type 1 metalloprotease (MT1-MMP). The invention also describes drug conjugates comprising said peptides, conjugated to one or more effector and/or functional groups which have utility in imaging and targeted cancer therapy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a multispecific peptide ligand comprising a polypeptide covalently linked to a molecular scaffold at three or more amino acid residues and capable of binding to two or more separate targets, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a first repertoire of polypeptides, each polypeptide comprising two or more reactive groups capable of covalent linkage to a molecular scaffold, and at least one loop which comprises a sequence of two or more amino acids subtended between two of said reactive groups; (b) providing a second repertoire of polypeptides as described in (a); (c) joining at least one loop of one or more members of the first repertoire to at least one loop of one or more members of the second repertoire to form at least one polypeptide comprising two loops, and (d) conjugating the composite polypeptide(s) to a molecular scaffold at at least three amino acid positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for altering the conformational diversity of a first repertoire of polypeptide ligands, comprising a plurality of polypeptides comprising at least two reactive groups separated by a loop sequence covalently linked to a molecular scaffold which forms covalent bonds with said reactive groups, to produce a second repertoire of polypeptide ligands, comprising assembling said second repertoire from the polypeptides and structural scaffold of said first repertoire, incorporating one of the following alterations: (a) altering at least one reactive group; or (b) altering the nature of the molecular scaffold; or (c) altering the bond between at least one reactive group and the molecular scaffold; or (d) any combination of (a), (b) or (c).
