SH2 domains are present in many proteins, and designing specific inhibitors has been a challenge. Now a monobody, based on a fibronectin type III domain scaffold, that targets the SH2 domain from Abl kinase is developed, with structural data revealing the basis of its specificity and functional work exploring its effects in vitro and in cells.
