<span>Lung cancer is one of the most malignant cancers with poor prognosis.<br />CancerSURF combines the scaffold of a tetrameric Streptavidin to increase the specificity of a DARPin to detect a prominent tumor marker. This system can find several applications in medical treatment or as a diagnostic tool.

<span>Ribosomes are limited to 20 L-amino acids while non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) can use a large number of natural and non-proteinogenic amino acids. RiboSURF aims at combining the huge repertoire of NRPSs with ribosomal protein synthesis to extend the synthetic scope of the ribosome.
