Protein Design: Synthetic Biology

This lecture covers the principles of protein design in synthetic biology, focusing on the common building blocks of protein structure, such as secondary structures, helices, beta sheets, loops, and super secondary structures. It also discusses the challenges in designing stable membrane proteins, the importance of protein stability, and the computational approaches used in protein design. The instructor presents examples of protein design for stability and functionality, including the design of a new fold and the optimization of protein structures through computational methods.
