Publication Abstract from PubMed

We report a new computational protein design method for the construction of oligomeric protein assemblies around metal centers with predefined coordination geometries. We apply this method to design two homotrimeric assemblies, Tet4 and TP1, with tetrahedral and trigonal-pyramidal tris(histidine) metal coordination geometries, respectively, and demonstrate that both assemblies form the targeted metal centers with </=0.2 A accuracy. Although Tet4 and TP1 are constructed from the same parent protein building block, they are distinct in terms of their overall architectures, the environment surrounding the metal centers, and their metal-based reactivities, illustrating the versatility of our approach.
