Affilin proteins (artificial binding proteins based on the ubiquitin scaffold) were generated using
directed protein evolution to yield de‐novo variants that bind the extra‐domain B (EDB) of oncofetal
fibronectin, an abundant tumor marker in fetal and neoplastic tissues. Structures of two EDB‐specific
Affilin molecules reveal striking structural plasticity of the ubiquitin scaffold, characterized by β‐strand
slippage, leading to diverse register shifts of ...
