The existence of two or more binding domains increases the difficulty of synthesis for chimeric molecules. Each component must be discovered, optimized, and synthesized in such a way that they can be linked together, driving up cost relative to single-domain inhibitors. The large size of chimeric molecules (typically 700-1100 Da) makes effective delivery difficult and increases complexity in pharmacokinetic design. Care must be taken to ensure that the molecule is capable of passing through the cell membrane and subsisting long enough to have therapeutic effect. Additionally, protein-protein ternary complexes are generally unstable, adding to the difficulty of chimeric drug design
