  • Publication number: 20210069293
    Abstract: The present invention relates to binding proteins specific for VEGF-A, in particular to recombinant binding proteins comprising a polyethylene glycol moiety and a binding domain, which inhibits VEGF-Axxx binding to VEGFR-2. Examples of such recombinant binding proteins are proteins which comprise an ankyrin repeat domain with the desired binding specificity, and a polyethylene glycol moiety. The binding proteins are useful in the treatment of cancer and other pathological conditions, e.g. eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration.

  • Patent number: 9657287
    Abstract: A repeat protein from a collection of repeat proteins, wherein each repeat protein of said collection comprises a repeat domain, which comprises a set of consecutive repeat modules, wherein the repeat modules have the same fold and stack tightly to create a superhelical structure having a joint hydrophobic core, wherein each of the repeat modules is derived from one or more repeat units and wherein the repeat units comprise framework residues, which contribute to the folding topology of the repeat unit or contribute to an interaction with a neighboring repeat unit, and target interaction residues, which contribute to an interaction with a target substance, wherein the repeat proteins of the collection differ from other repeat proteins in the collection in at least one amino acid position of the repeat modules is described as are related pharmaceuticals and nucleic acid molecules.

  • Patent number: 9365629
    Abstract: The invention relates to collections of target-specific designed binding proteins based on armadillo repeat proteins, and to a method of generating them. Designed armadillo repeat proteins are based on consensus sequences of single armadillo repeat units. These repeat proteins can be used as scaffolds for peptide recognition. Such a scaffold provides a binding mode that is in principle the same for every small recognizable unit, e.g. an amino acid or dipeptide, allowing a precise and modular recognition of a peptide in extended conformation. The method allows to generate a series of modules recognizing these simple units, and to combine such building blocks to create a binding site for any desired peptide target without performing additional selections.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to binding proteins specific for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), in particular to recombinant binding proteins comprising a polyethylene glycol moiety and a binding domain, which inhibits VEGF-Axxx (wherein xxx denotes the amino acid length of the VEGF-A mature protein) binding to Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR-2). Examples of such recombinant binding proteins are proteins which comprise an ankyrin repeat domain with the desired binding specificity, and a polyethylene glycol moiety.
