Programmable design of orthogonal protein heterodimers

Protein–protein interaction specificity can be achieved using extensive and modular side-chain hydrogen-bond networks. We used the Crick generating equations to produce millions of four-helix backbones with varying degrees of supercoiling around a central axis, identified those acc...

"If you want to build an airplane, you don’t start by modifying a bird; instead, you understand the first principles of aerodynamics and build flying machines from those principles. As we get closer to solving the protein folding problem, we can now design completely new proteins from ...
新华社报道：科学家用计算机设计制造出跨膜蛋白质
03.03.2018
新华社华盛顿３月２日电（记者周舟）
美国华盛顿大学一个科研团队借助计算机设计，制造出了跨膜蛋白质，它可像天然膜蛋白那样形成多蛋白复合体，可应用在疫苗设计等领域。
膜蛋白是生物膜中所含的蛋白质，嵌在细胞和细胞器的膜中。有些膜蛋白的两端暴露于膜的内外表面，被称作跨膜蛋白质。它们可作为物质跨膜转运的通道，许多药物设计将其作为靶标。
本次研究论文发表在最新一期《科学》杂志上。论文第一作者、华盛顿大学贝克实验室的卢培龙对新华社记者说，他们使用一种叫做“罗塞塔”的计算机程序，设计了能在膜环境中稳定...
