Viewing protein fitness landscapes through a next-gen lens.
High-throughput sequencing has enabled many powerful approaches in biological research. Here, we review sequencing approaches to measure frequency changes within engineered mutational libraries subject to selection. These analyses can provide direct estimates of biochemical and fitness effects for all individual mutations across entire genes (and likely compact genomes in the near future) in ge...
متن کاملExploring folding free energy landscapes using computational protein design.
Recent advances in computational protein design have allowed exciting new insights into the sequence dependence of protein folding free energy landscapes. Whereas most previous studies have examined the sequence dependence of protein stability and folding kinetics by characterizing naturally occurring proteins and variants of these proteins that contain a small number of mutations, it is now po...
متن کاملComputational design of protein-protein interactions.
A long-term aim of computational design is to generate specific protein-protein interactions at desired affinity, specificity, and kinetics. The past three years have seen the first reports on atomically accurate de novo interactions. These were based on advances in design algorithms and the ability to harness high-throughput experimental characterization of design variants to optimize binding....
متن کاملComputational protein design.
A 'protein design cycle', involving cycling between theory and experiment, has led to recent advances in rational protein design. A reductionist approach, in which protein positions are classified by their local environments, has aided development of an appropriate energy expression. The computational principles and practicalities of the protein design cycle are discussed.
متن کاملAdaptation in protein fitness landscapes is facilitated by indirect paths
The structure of fitness landscapes is critical for understanding adaptive protein evolution. Previous empirical studies on fitness landscapes were confined to either the neighborhood around the wild type sequence, involving mostly single and double mutants, or a combinatorially complete subgraph involving only two amino acids at each site. In reality, the dimensionality of protein sequence spa...
