Protein WISDOM: A Workbench for In silico De novo Design of BioMolecules

Abstract:
The design of proteins or peptides with novel functions can be achieved either by modifying existing molecules or by inventing entirely new structures and sequences that are unknown in nature. Combinatorial-design strategies have led to the first de novo proteins, but these still lack some of the desired attributes. The most promising practical strategies for developing proteins with useful biological or chemical function combine theoretical design with experimental screening or selection systems.
