摘要

Efforts to generate biologically active proteins by de novo computational design have been limited to creating functional sites within pre-existing scaffolds. Procko et al. use an innovative computational design approach coupled with in-vitro-targeted evolution to produce a potent polypeptide inhibitor of a viral Bcl-2-like protein. This novel inhibitor triggers apoptosis of virus-infected cells.
