Nanobodies as tools for studying human frataxin biology

Pignataro, M.F., Fernández, N.B., Garay-Alvarez, A. et al. Nanobodies as tools for studying human frataxin biology. Commun Biol (2026). doi:10.1038/s42003-025-09458-x 

As a whole, our results suggest that nanobodies can serve as binding partners for mitochondrial FXN. However, the specific effect of the nanobodies on the conformational stability of FRDA-related FXN variants in cells should be investigated.
