Directed evolution is a very popular strategy for improving biophysical properties and even for generating proteins with novel functions. Recent advances in combinatorial protein engineering mean it is now possible to develop protein scaffolds that could substitute for whole antibody-associated
ATGL-mediated triglyceride turnover and the regulation of mitochondrial capacity in skeletal muscle.
Ruth C R Meex et al.
American journal of physiology. Endocrinology and metabolism, 308(11), E960-E970 (2015-04-09)
Emerging evidence indicates that skeletal muscle lipid droplets are an important control point for intracellular lipid homeostasis and that regulating fatty acid fluxes from lipid droplets might influence mitochondrial capacity. We used pharmacological blockers of the major triglyceride lipases, adipose
