Tailor-making a protein a-derived domain for efficient site-specific photocoupling to Fc of mouse IgG₁.

Affinity proteins binding to antibody constant regions have proved to be invaluable tools in biotechnology. Here, protein engineering was used to expand the repertoire of available immunoglobulin binding proteins via improvement of the binding strength between the widely used staphylococcal protein...
