Sumario:[Background] Variable domains of camelid heavy-chain antibodies, commonly named nanobodies, have highbiotechnological potential. In view of their broad range of applications in research, diagnostics and therapy,engineering their stability is of particular interest. One important aspect is the improvement of thermostability,because it can have immediate effects on conformational stability, protease resistance and aggregation pro-pensity of the protein
