Protein design

Research project Protein design

Using computation to pre-screen the vast protein sequence space.

Due to the complexity of proteins it is not easy to (re-)design them. In collaboration with experimentalists, we employ our prediction approaches to 'filter' the available protein sequence space, so increasing the chance that the experiments will find a functional 'hit'. For example, in synthetic biology we are trying to crack how RNA Recognition Motifs (RRMs) work in order to design RRMs with specific RNA binding.
