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
