Computer-implemented design of peptide:receptor signaling complexes for enhanced chemotaxis

Patrick Daniel Barth, Robert Everett Jefferson

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for engineering the interaction between a protein and a cognate peptide that are capable of forming a molecular complex, wherein the method comprises (a) preparing in silico a library of test p ...

Computational design of dynamic receptor—peptide signaling complexes applied to chemotaxis

Patrick Daniel Barth, Aurélien Laurent Jean-Charles Oggier, Ana Paola Rico Villarreal, Mahdi Hijazi, Robert Everett Jefferson, Andreas Füglistaler

Engineering protein biosensors that sensitively respond to specific biomolecules by triggering precise cellular responses is a major goal of diagnostics and synthetic cell biology. Previous biosensor designs have largely relied on binding structurally well ...

Computationally designed GPCR quaternary structures bias signaling pathway activation

Patrick Daniel Barth, Robert Everett Jefferson

Communication across membranes controls critical cellular processes and is achieved by receptors translating extracellular signals into selective cytoplasmic responses. While receptor tertiary structures can be readily characterized, receptor associations ...
