Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs are clinically important for the treatment of various diseases. TTAC-0001 is under development as a new anti-cancer antibody drug targeting VEGFR-2. As the less severe toxicity of TTAC-0001 compared to Bevacizumab, likely due to the decreased in vivo half-life, seems to be related to its structural flexibility, it is important to map the exact flexible regions. Although the 13C/15N-labeled protein is required for NMR analyses, it is difficult to obtain antibody fragments (Fab and scFv) containing disulfide bonds through general cytosolic expression in Escherichia coli (E. coli). Here, we notably increased the periplasmic expression of the 13C/15N-labeled TTAC-0001-Fab (13C/15N-TTAC-Fab) through simple isopropyl ?-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-induction at an increased optical density (1.5 OD600nm). Through NMR triple resonance experiments, two loop insertions (LI-1 between the VH and CH1; LI-2 between the VL and CL) were confirmed to be highly flexible. The additional LIs could be another way to engineer the antibody by changing the pharmacokinetic properties.

Abstract
Identifying an epitope, the region of the antigen in contact with an antibody, is useful in both basic and pharmaceutical research, as well as in vaccine design. Solution NMR spectroscopy is particularly well suited to the residue...

â??CON-CONâ?? assignment strategy for highly flexible intrinsically disordered proteins
Abstract
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are a class of highly flexible proteins whose characterization by NMR spectroscopy is complicated by severe spectral overlaps. The development of experiments designed to facilitate the sequence-specific assignment procedure is thus very important to improve the tools for the characterization of IDPs and thus to be able to focus on IDPs of increasing size and complexity. Here, we present and describe the...
