Building on the pioneering work of Ho and DeGrado (J Am Chem Soc 1987, 109, 6751-6758) in the late 1980s, protein design approaches have revealed many fundamental features of protein structure and stability. We are now in the era that the early work presaged - the design of new proteins with practical applications and uses. Here we briefly survey some past milestones in protein design, in addition to highlighting recent progress and future aspirations.
基于20世纪80年代后期何(Ho)和德格拉多(DeGrado)的开创性工作(《美国化学会志》,1987年,第109卷,6751 - 6758页),蛋白质设计方法揭示了蛋白质结构和稳定性的许多基本特征。我们现在正处于早期工作所预示的时代——设计具有实际应用和用途的新型蛋白质。在此,我们除了强调近期进展和未来期望外,还简要回顾了蛋白质设计领域过去的一些里程碑事件。
