Computational protein design: engineering molecular diversity, nonnatural enzymes, nonbiological cofactor complexes, and membrane proteins

Computational and theoretical methods are advancing protein design as a means to create and investigate proteins. Such efforts further our capacity to control, design and understand biomolecular structure, sequence and function. Herein, the focus is on some recent applications that involve using theoretical and computational methods to guide the design of protein sequence ensembles, new enzymes, proteins with novel cofactors, and membrane proteins.

► Computational protein design of protein structure, sequence and function.
► Design of combinatorial protein libraries.
► Design of novel enzymes.
► Design of protein-cofactor assemblies.
► Designed membrane proteins.
