Abstract excerpt
Computational grafting of target residues onto existing protein scaffolds is a powerful method for the design of proteins with novel function. In the grafting method side chain mutations are introduced into a preexisting protein scaffold to recreate a target functional motif. The success of this approach relies on two primary criteria: (1) the availability of compatible structural scaffolds, and (2) the...
