Abstract excerpt
The ability to engineer novel protein folds, conformations, and enzymatic activities offers enormous potential for the development of new protein therapeutics and biocatalysts. However, many de novo and redesigned proteins exhibit poor hydrophobic packing in their predicted structures, leading to instability or insolubility. The general utility of rational, structure-based design would greatly benefit from an...
