Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for generating a metal ion binding protein, the method comprising a) integrating the amino acid sequence DDD into CDR1 of a light chain variable region of an antibody or fragment thereof; and b) combining the sequence of step a) with a heavy chain variable region of an antibody or fragment thereof; and c) isolating the protein. Also provided is the use of metal ion binding proteins generated by the method of the present invention for isolation and purification of proteins and for the reversible labeling of a target molecule. Also provided is a metal ion binding anti-CD8 protein.
