  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) is the most common cause of blindness, and chronic intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins has been the dominant therapeutic approach. Less intravitreal injection and a prolonged inter-injection interval are the main drivers behind new wet AMD drug innovations. By rationally engineering the surface residues of a model anti-VEGF nanobody, we obtained a series of anti-VEGF nanobodies with identical protein structures and VEGF binding affinities, while drastically different crystallization propensities and crystal lattice structures. Among these nanobody crystals, the P 2 1 2 1 2 1 lattice appeared to be denser and released protein slower than the P 1 lattice, while nanobody crystals embedding zinc coordination further slowed the protein release rate. The polymorphic protein crystals could be a potentially breakthrough strategy for chronic intravitreal administration of anti-VEGF proteins.
