A method for computational drug design using an evolutionary algorithm, comprises evaluating virtual molecules according to vector distance (VD) to at least one achievement objective that defines a desired ideal molecule. In one method the invention comprises defining a set of n achievement objectives (OA 1-n), where n is at least one; defining a population (PG=0) of at least one molecule; selecting an initial population (Pparent) of at least one molecule (I1-In) from the population (PG=0); and evaluating members (I1-In) of the initial population (Pparent) against at least one of the n achievement objectives (OA 1-x), where x is from 1 to n. |

The present invention relates to the fields of microbiology, molecular biology and protein biochemistry. More particularly, it relates to compositions and methods for analyzing and altering (e.g., enhancing or inhibiting) protein folding and solubility (e.g., within periplasm). The present invention provides an engineered assay for protein folding and solubility in the E. coli periplasm based on co-translational translocation of a chimera comprising a protein of interest fused to TEM-I ß-lactamase that is targeted for export via the signal recognition particle (SRP)-dependent pathway. Using an array of native and heterologous proteins, it is demonstrated that periplasmic folding behavior of proteins is intimately coupled to in vivo ß-lactamase activity. As a result of this coupling, the reporter is useful for (1) facile discovery of extrinsic periplasmic factors that affect protein folding and solubility; and (2) genetic selection of solubility-enhanced proteins. |

The present invention provides a method for producing a polynucleotide sequence encoding an antibody variable domain, the variable domain comprising complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) located within a selected framework (the 'master framework'), the method comprising the steps of (a) providing at least one nucleic acid molecule encoding one or more CDRs and associated framework regions (the 'original framework'), (b) amplifying at least one CDR-encoding portion of the nucleic acid molecule(s) of step (a) using one or more pairs of oligonucleotides as amplification primers and (c) assembling a polynucleotide sequence encoding an antibody variable domain by combining the amplified CDR-encoding nucleotide sequences produced in step (b) with nucleotide sequences encoding said master framework, wherein the oligonucleotide primers of step (b) comprise nucleotide sequences which differ from the corresponding nucleotide sequences encoding said master framework. The invention further provides an antibody library, such as a phage display library, and methods of making the same. |
