Computational design of a symmetrical β-trefoil lectin with cancer cell binding activity
Abstract Computational protein design has advanced very rapidly over the last decade, but there remain few examples of artificial proteins with direct medical applications. This study describes a new artificial β-trefoil lectin that recognises Burkitt’s lymphoma cells, and which was designed with th...
