Area A: Chemical Ligands and Methods A7: Pareto-optimization of protein-surface targeting supramolecular binders with hetero-avidity

The challenge to achieve optimized hetero-avidity of larger protein surface binders will be adressed in A7 with a focus on combinatorial approaches. Protein binders are analyzed as librar-ies of different molecular recognition units covalently attached to a flexible generic scaffold. Various limiting criteria such as positive cooperativity and protein specificity are treated independently, and combined in a Pareto-optimization procedure. Special attention will be paid to the treatment of sol-vent and entropy effects. Relationships between binder composition and experimental assays will be statistically analyzed, including training of machine learning models.
