Session Title: Protein Design & Engineering

Session Summary：Designing and engineering proteins offer a bottom-up understanding of how protein structures and functions evolve and are defined by their primary amino-acid sequences. These designed proteins expand upon nature’s repertoire enabling scientists to explore new and varied functions. In this session, we discuss state-of-the-art research in the field, from design strategies including protein modelling and creating artificial folds, to developments and applications of designed functions such as enzymes and metalloproteins.
