EvoDesign – Evolutionary profile based approach to de novo Protein Design

EvoDesign

:: DESCRIPTION

EvoDesign is an evolutionary profile based approach to de novo protein design. Starting from a scaffold of target protein structure, EvoDesign first identifies protein families which have similar fold from the PDB library by TM-align. A structural profile is then constructed from the protein templates which is used to guide the conformation search of amino acid sequence space, where physicochemical packing is accommodated by the single-sequence based solvation, torsion angle and secondary structure predictions. The final designed sequence is obtained by clustering all sequence decoys generated during design simulations.
