What types of proteins are suitable for your stability engineering services?

Our platform is highly versatile and has been successfully applied to a wide range of protein domains, including antibody fragments (scFv, Fab), single-domain antibodies (sdAb), enzymes, and engineered protein scaffolds.

What is the typical diversity of the libraries you construct?

We routinely construct phage display libraries with diversities in the range of 10^8 to 10^10 unique variants. The exact size is tailored based on the project's specific requirements for exploring sequence space.

Can you screen for stability against conditions other than heat and proteases?

Yes. While thermal and protease stability are our most requested services, the robustness of our phage display platform allows us to design custom screening campaigns for stability against other harsh conditions, such as high or low pH.

What are the final deliverables for a project?

Upon project completion, clients typically receive the DNA sequences of the validated stable variants, purified protein samples for top candidates, and a comprehensive final report detailing the entire experimental process, all screening and validation data, and full sequence analysis.

The Imperative for Enhanced Protein Stability

The therapeutic and diagnostic utility of proteins, including antibodies, enzymes, and scaffolds, is fundamentally dependent on their structural and functional integrity. However, many native proteins exhibit limited stability, rendering them susceptible to denaturation or degradation under physiological and manufacturing conditions. This instability can lead to:

Compromised therapeutic efficacy

Shortened shelf-life

Reduced bioavailability

Limited applications in challenging environments

Consequently, the development of protein variants with enhanced stability against thermal stress and proteolysis represents a critical objective in contemporary drug development and biotechnology.

Directed evolution, coupled with high-throughput screening methodologies, has emerged as a powerful paradigm for engineering proteins with desired biophysical properties. Among these, phage display technology stands out as a preeminent platform. The intrinsic robustness of the bacteriophage particle, particularly the M13 filamentous phage, allows it to withstand harsh environmental pressures without losing infectivity. This unique characteristic enables the application of stringent selective pressures directly to vast libraries of protein variants displayed on the phage surface. By linking the phenotype (a stable, functional protein domain) directly to its encapsidated genotype, phage display facilitates the rapid and efficient isolation of rare variants possessing superior stability from libraries containing billions of unique sequences. At Creative Biolabs, we have harnessed the power of this technology to establish a sophisticated service pipeline dedicated to the discovery and optimization of exceptionally stable protein domain variants for advanced therapeutic and diagnostic applications.

Targeted Screening Services for Environmental Resilience

Creative Biolabs offers a specialized suite of services focused on identifying protein domain variants with enhanced resilience to specific environmental challenges. Our screening programs are meticulously designed to isolate candidates with superior performance characteristics, primarily targeting thermal and proteolytic stability.

Thermal Stable Protein Domain Variant Screening Service

Elevated temperature is a ubiquitous stressor during protein production, purification, storage, and even within the human body under febrile conditions. Our Thermal Stable Protein Domain Variant Screening Service is engineered to identify protein variants that maintain their native conformation and function at elevated temperatures.

Protease Stable Protein Domain Variant Screening Service

For protein therapeutics administered systemically, susceptibility to proteolytic degradation in the bloodstream or other biological compartments is a primary determinant of in vivo half-life and efficacy. The Protease Stable Protein Domain Variant Screening Service is designed to discover variants with heightened resistance to enzymatic cleavage.

Downstream Protein Characterization and Engineering

The foundation of any successful discovery campaign is a high-quality, high-diversity library. We offer several advanced strategies for library construction, tailored to the specific project goals:

Custom and Synthetic Protein Libraries: Utilizing client-provided protein sequences, we leverage sophisticated gene synthesis and assembly techniques to construct large-scale semi-synthetic or fully synthetic variant libraries. This approach allows for the precise introduction of diversity at specific positions to screen for variants with enhanced stability or function.
Human Protein Variant Libraries: For projects focused on improving the stability of existing human proteins, we can construct comprehensive libraries based on the native sequence, facilitating the discovery of stabilized variants with minimal immunogenicity.
Targeted and Random Mutagenesis Libraries: We can design and generate libraries focused on specific structural regions through techniques like site-directed mutagenesis. Alternatively, for a broader discovery approach, random mutagenesis methods such as error-prone PCR are employed to introduce diversity across the entire gene, enabling the exploration of a vast sequence space for stability-enhancing mutations.
