Disruption of the normal apoptotic function is often observed in cancer, where cell death is avoided by the overexpression of anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 (B-cell lymphoma 2) family, including Mcl-1 (myeloid cell leukaemia 1). This makes Mcl-1 a potential target for drug therapy, through which normal apoptosis may be restored by inhibiting the protective function of Mcl-1. Here, the discovery and biophysical properties of an anti-Mcl-1 antibody fragment are described and the utility of both the scFv and Fab are demonstrated in generating an Mcl-1 crystal system amenable to iterative structure-guided drug design. Antibody fragments structurally enable a drug-discovery campaign on the cancer target Mcl-1.,Luptak J, Bista M, Fisher D, Flavell L, Gao N, Wickson K, Kazmirski SL, Howard T, Rawlins PB, Hargreaves D Acta Crystallogr D Struct Biol. 2019 Nov 1;75(Pt 11):1003-1014. doi:, 10.1107/S2059798319014116.
