Design and Engineering of Miniproteins

Abstract: The potential of miniproteins in the biological and chemical sciences is constantly increasing. Significant progress in the design methodologies has been achieved over the last 30 years. Early approaches based on propensities of individual amino acid residues to form individual secondary structures were subsequently improved by structural analyses using NMR spectroscopy and crystallography. Consequently, computational algorithms were developed, which are now highly successful in designing structures with accur… Show more

“…The rapid development of the de novo design of proteins through deep learning models has also stoked the ambition to create small proteins or miniproteins with desired functions 15, 44, 45 . Small proteins have considerable advantages over larger ones: their genes are easier to synthesize, they take up fewer cell resources to express, they can be engineered to be highly stable, and they are potentially able to penetrate into tissues and cells.…”

“…Second, the candidate miniproteins selected using the calculated binding affinity to V600E mutant BRAF 15mut were further screened according to the aqueous solubility to exclude the insoluble and poorly soluble miniproteins in the early stage of discovery. This step seemed to be necessary because miniproteins comprising several helices tend to be hydrophobic due to the abundance of nonpolar residues such as Val and Leu at the interface between helices [18].…”
