2. Computational Protein Design
Proteins can be reengineered to provide altered or novel functions. However, the utility of this approach is fundamentally limited by the building blocks that nature provides.
Computational protein design (CPD) has shown that molecular simulation can help to predict sequences with new and improved functions. Our proprietary POLYDESIGN plate, by combining traditional computer aid drug design (CADD) technology with the power of modern computing, overcomes the limitations of naturally occurring proteins, and offers the potential for innovation of new molecule.
Computational designed protein is one of the main resources of starting material for directed evolution.
