Protein Engineering Services
Protein engineering aims at obtaining improved molecules to enhance clinical efficiency, manufacturability, and reduce the immunogenicity of a promising clinic candidate. This is achieved by using genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology to change their amino acid sequences. By changing the amino acid sequence of a protein, scientists can improve its stability, specificity or catalytic activity to get new or improved functions.
Rodon's Methods of Rational Protein Engineering
At Rodon, protein engineering uses a range of methods including rational protein engineering, site-directed mutagenesis and semi-rational design. Each method uses different ways to modify protein sequences and improve their functions. The choice of method depends on the application and the protein structure which determines the protein’s function and properties. Understanding this relationship is key to protein engineering. Rodon uses tools that predict a protein’s structure from its amino acid sequence to give us insights to design proteins with specific functions.
Method | Description |
Rational Protein Engineering | Uses computational models and structural information to design proteins with specific functions |
Semi-Rational Design | Combines computational tools with experimental approaches to guide mutation introduction |
Site-Directed Mutagenesis | Specific amino acid substitutions are made to alter protein functions |
DNA Shuffling | Recombines segments of DNA to create new protein variants |

Different Antibody Multispecific Formats and Antibody Fragments
Multispecific antibodies are engineered proteins designed to bind simultaneously to multiple targets, enhancing therapeutic efficacy and specificity. These multispecific formats are particularly useful in complex diseases like cancer where targeting multiple pathways can lead to better treatment outcomes. Developing these complex molecules requires deep understanding of protein engineering techniques including precise amino acid substitutions and advanced computational protein design to ensure optimal binding affinity and stability.
Antibody fragments, on the other hand, are smaller portions of antibodies that retain the ability to bind to antigens. Common fragments include single-chain variable fragments (scFv), antigen-binding fragments (Fab), and dimeric Fab2. These fragments offer advantages such as improved tissue penetration, reduced immunogenicity, and easier manufacturing, making them ideal for therapeutic and diagnostic applications. By using these advanced formats and fragments protein engineering is pushing the boundaries of what is possible in medicine and offering new hope for many diseases.
