Abstract excerpt
For decades, protein engineers have endeavored to reengineer existing proteins for novel applications. Overall, protein folds and gross functions can be readily transferred from one protein to another by transplanting large blocks of sequence (i.e., domain recombination). However, predictably fine-tuning function (e.g., by adjusting ligand affinity, specificity, catalysis, and/or allosteric regulation) remains a...
