A general computational approach for repeat protein design

A general computational approach for repeat protein design
Parmeggiani, Huang et al. 2015 (Baker Lab) - Journal of Molecular Biology
  • Repeat proteins useful as binding reagents or biomaterials for various applications
  • General method for building idealized repeats - combines sequence & structural information with de novo protein design calculations
  • Idealized designs from six protein families were experimentally characterized: 80% souble, 40% folded and monomeric with high thermal stability
  • Crystal structures are within 1Å of designs
  • General, reliable and fast generation of stable, modular repeat scaffolds
