Helical protein design

Curr Opin Biotechnol. 1998 Aug;9(4):350-3. doi: 10.1016/s0958-1669(98)80006-2.

Abstract

It is now possible to design small proteins capable of folding into compact structures with well-packed cores. Given the present state of knowledge of protein folding and design, it is possible to extract a set of engineering guidelines that may assist in future de novo protein design.
