  • Patent number: 11053282
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are peptoids and related compounds, including peptoid affinity ligands, and hybrid peptoids, for binding and/or purifying immunoglobulins, immunoglobulin fragments or immunoglobulin fusion proteins thereof. Methods of making peptoid affinity ligands and using the same to bind, purify and/or isolate immunoglobulins and related compounds are also disclosed. Such peptoid affinity ligands comprise a peptoid compound consisting of sequentially coupled peptoid residues forming a peptoid backbone, with one or more functional groups appended to a Nitrogen of the peptoid residues of the peptoid backbone configured to provide the desired binding affinity. The peptoids can further comprise a peptoid backbone with at least one functional group coupled to an alpha carbon (C) of a peptide bond in the peptoid backbone thereby forming a hybrid peptoid.
