Abstract
Proteins catalyze the majority of chemical reactions in organisms, and harnessing this power has long been the focus of the protein engineering field. Computational protein design aims to create new proteins and functions in silico, and in doing so, accelerate the process, reduce costs and enable more sophisticated engineering goals to be accomplished. Challenges that very recently seemed impossible are now within reach thanks to several landmark advances in computational protein design methods. Here, we summarize these new methods, with a particular emphasis on de novo protein design advancements occurring within the past 5 years.
