De novo backbone scaffolds for protein design
In recent years, there have been significant advances in the field of computational protein design including the successful computational design of enzymes based on backbone scaffolds from experimentally solved structures. It is likely that large-scale sampling of protein backbone conformations will become necessary as further progress is made on more complicated systems. Removing the constrain...
متن کاملFrag'r'Us: knowledge-based sampling of protein backbone conformations for de novo structure-based protein design
MOTIVATION The remodeling of short fragment(s) of the protein backbone to accommodate new function(s), fine-tune binding specificities or change/create novel protein interactions is a common task in structure-based computational design. Alternative backbone conformations can be generated de novo or by redeploying existing fragments extracted from protein structures i.e. knowledge-based. We pres...
متن کاملDe novo design of covalently constrained mesosize protein scaffolds with unique tertiary structures.
The folding of natural proteins typically relies on hydrophobic packing, metal binding, or disulfide bond formation in the protein core. Alternatively, a 3D structure can be defined by incorporating a multivalent cross-linking agent, and this approach has been successfully developed for the selection of bicyclic peptides from large random-sequence libraries. By contrast, there is no general met...
متن کاملProtein architecture by de novo design
De novo protein design is an essential approach to elucidate the principles of protein structure and has potential applications that can yield novel molecules for medical and industrial purposes, such as drug discovery. The new idea that we can design artificial amino-acid sequences capable of folding into the desired three-dimensional (3D) structure may originate from the conceptual proposal m...
متن کاملTemplate assisted protein de novo design
The ultimate goal in protein de novo design is the Construction of artificial proteins exhibiting tailor-made structural and functional properties. To create nativelike macromolecules in copying nature's way has proven to be difficult because the mechanism of folding in its complexity has yet to be unravelled. In the present review we describe a conceptually different approach in protein design...
