Peptidisc-Assisted Nanobody Clustering
2026-08-29
Chen and Duong van Hoa describe a peptidisc-assisted strategy for clustering nanobodies through hydrophobic interactions rather than tandem genetic linking or conventional cross-linking. The resulting multimeric and multispecific assemblies improved functional avidity and enabled bispecific and autofluorescent nanobody constructs, although the preprint requires further validation of assembly uniformity, mechanism, and broader transferability.
