Optimer structure with non target binding groups removed for improved Optimer performance and manufacturability.
Optimer ligands are short synthetic oligonucleotide molecules composed of DNA or RNA that bind to a specific target molecule. They are engineered to bind their target molecules with affinity typically in the low nanomolar range.[1] Optimers can be used as antibody mimetics in a range of applications,[2][3][4] and have been optimized to increase their stability, reduce their molecular weight, and offer increased scalability and consistency in manufacture compared to standard aptamer molecules.[5]
