Presence of EGF ligand restricts the binding ability of EgB4 nanobody to EGFR extracellular domain by Duc Toan Truong, Mateusz Chwastyk, Viet Bac T. Phung, Minh Tho Nguyen

“…The three main objectives of the study are: (i) how EgB4 interacts with EGFR, (ii) the role of an EGF molecule, and (iii) how to mutate EgB4 to efficiently construct a stronger nanobody. Our computed results showed that, in addition to the residues asp98 and asp110 that were previously reported, two other residues, arg105 and asp108, are also highly interactive with the EGFR extracellular domain. …”
