ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to new chimeric mutants of avidin protein with improved properties, e.g. thermostability, better stability against proteolysis, better charge properties (for example lower pl) compared to native avidin and avidin-related proteins, AVRs. The chimeric avidin mutants comprise mutants where a region or regions in avidin are substituted by a corresponding region or regions from an AVR protein.
