Alternative linking strategies. The left column indicates the modification. The middle column shows the superposition of each Fab–alternative cyclic peptide complex (colored C atoms) on the Fab–acetylated-amidated disulfide peptide (white C atoms). The right column is the corresponding SPR trace. In all cases, the linking atoms are shifted away from the Val9/Ile10 residues and thus do not pack as well. The affinity of the aminoheptanoic acid linker (AHA) was the closest to the original disulfide meditope. |
