Claim: The properties of alphabodies of high thermostability and the ability to refold correctly after being denatured, also called protein folding, allow alphabody-based drugs to be administered in ways other than injection.
Evidence: Alphabodies have low molecular weight (~10 kDa) and very high thermostability (Tm = ~120 °C). Moreover, circular dichroism experiments suggest that Alphabodies can refold correctly after being denatured. Protein folding is key to whether a globular or membrane protein can do its job correctly; it must be folded into the right shape to function. These properties allow Alphabody-based drugs to be administered in ways other than injection.
