In this study, we isolated and characterized two anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) sdAbs, Gr3 and Gr6, from a synthetic human V(H) phage display library. Size exclusion chromatography and surface plasmon resonance analyses demonstrated that Gr3 is a monomer, but that Gr6 is a strict dimer. To understand this different molecular behavior, we solved the crystal structure of Gr6 to 1.6 A resolution. The crystal structure revealed that the homodimer assembly of Gr6 closely mimics the V(H)-V(L) heterodimer of immunoglobulin variable domains and the dimerization interface is dominated by hydrophobic interactions.
