Developmental biology has greatly profited from genetic and reverse genetic approaches to indirectly studying protein function. More recently, nanobodies and other protein binders derived from different synthetic scaffolds have been used to directly dissect protein function. Protein binders have been fused to functional domains, such as to lead to protein degradation, relocalization, visualization, or posttranslational modification of the target protein upon binding. The use of such functionalized protein binders has allowed the study of the proteome during development in an unprecedented manner. In the coming years, the advent of the computational design of protein binders, together with further advances in scaffold engineering and synthetic biology, will fuel the development of novel protein binder–based technologies. Studying the proteome with increased precision will contribute to a better understanding of the immense molecular complexities hidden in each step along the way to generate form and function during development.
