Abstract

Relying on evolutionary history within thousands of homologous sequences to map important residues, consensus sequence design has emerged as an effective approach for designing biologically functional proteins with high stability. Intriguingly, sequence differences between consensus and extant homologs are predominantly located at weakly conserved surface residues. Surface mutations can have large effects on protein quinary structure, interactions that organize protein interactions inside cells, which are largely dependent on surface charges.
