Publication number: 20230176071Abstract: A method of identifying of amino-acid residues on a target protein that form a binding site of a molecule of interest. Such method relies on selection of relevant patches of solvent-accessible residues and testing of an array of mutated proteins for changes of binding properties. Such method is useful for determining binding sites (epitopes) of antibodies, ligands and related molecules.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Anastasios SPILIOTOPOULOS, David James MCMILLAN, Michael John Wright, Sebastian KELM, Xiaofeng LIU, Daniel John LIGHTWOOD

Publication number: 20210163586Abstract: This invention relates to crystals of the human Gremlin-1 protein, and the human Gremlin-1 protein in complex with an inhibitory antibody. The invention also relates to the structure of human Gremlin-1 (on its own, or in complex with the antibody) and uses of these structures in screening for agents which modulate Gremlin-1 activity. The invention further provides antibodies which bind an allosteric inhibitory site on Gremlin-1, together with pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of such antibodies and agents identified by the screening methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 10, 2021Publication date: June 3, 2021Inventors: NEESHA DEDI, BREDA TWOMEY, MICHAEL JOHN WRIGHT, GARETH DAVIES, DAVID JAMES MCMILLAN
-
Publication number: 20210140972Abstract: The invention is in the field of TNF signalling. Compounds have been identified which are capable of modulating signalling of TNF trimers through receptors. Methods of identifying such compounds are therefore provided. The compounds themselves have utility in therapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: James Philip O'CONNELL, John Robert PORTER, Alastair LAWSON, Boris KROEPLIEN, Stephen Edward RAPECKI, Timothy John NORMAN, David James MCMILLAN, Graham John WARRELLOW, Daniel Christopher BROOKINGS, Rikki Peter ALEXANDER
