Technologies that rely on artificial intelligence are of increasing prominence in protein science. To a casual observer it may appear that human inputs are of diminishing importance in research. This Perspective emphasizes the essential contributions of human interactions and chance encounters to the discovery process. The topic is synthetic receptors for proteins. I summarize how a chance observation of N-terminal complexation led to multiple (unpredictable) protein-receptor cocrystal structures with diverse potential applications.

Protein Networks
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
G Protein-coupled Receptors
GPCRs are also called heptahelical, 7TM, or serpentine receptors, and consist of seven (H1-H7) transmembrane alpha-helices that span the bilayer to form a cylindrical core. The transmembrane helices are connected by three extracellular loops and three...
